If only we, women, could shake our continent! Cuban Ofelia Domínguez Navarro wrote in 1931 to Paulina Luisi, the Uruguayan doctor who by then was a veteran of the feminist struggle in Latin America. This book is the story of that shock: Katherine M. Marino reviews here the unique way of understanding women's rights that occurred in our continent in the first half of the 20th century. Pan-American feminism was a movement that used the forms of diplomacy to achieve the commitment of the States for women's suffrage, equal social and labor rights, and the protection of children. In the hectic times of the Popular Front, of international solidarity with the Spanish Republic, of the fear of fascism, a handful of activists knew how to join forces across borders to express avant-garde egalitarian thinking that soon placed the feminist struggle on a broader, albeit no less controversial, level: the defense of human rights. In addition to Domínguez Navarro, Luisi and many more feminists from Mexico, Argentina and other countries, these pages feature the Brazilian biologist Bertha Lutz, the Panamanian lawyer Clara González and the Chilean journalist Marta Vergara -and, perhaps in the role of antagonist , to the American Doris Stevens? and as climax the Latin American contribution to the foundations of the UN. The shock produced by these bold and clear-sighted women can still be felt today. the defense of human rights.
