History of Hispanic Feminism
This course challenges the usual view of feminism in Hispanic societies - that it played a minimal role in the revolutionary movements of the 20th century - through the reading of a series of works from the colonial period to the present, that chart the Hispanic woman's struggle to achieve liberation and self-realization.
