Editorial Reviews
Review
The Costa Rican Women's Movement: A Reader provides an insider's view of the women's movement in one small but quintessential Latin American society. It collects the voices of forty-one diverse women (some radical, others strongly conservative, and most ranging in between) as they write about their lives and their experiences working for change within the Costa Rican community. Their voices resonate with those involved in the women's movement worldwide and provide invaluable first-hand accounts for students in women's studies courses. The articles are arranged thematically and include definitions of feminism in Costa Rica, women in Costa Rican history, legal equality, discrimination, women in the arts, and the status of women's studies. Brief biographies of each author underscore the leadership of Costa Rican women in Latin American feminism. The founders and editors of Mujer, one of the most influential feminist journals in Latin America, are among the authors represented here. The Costa Rican Women's Movement: A Reader is an invaluable addition to the growing body of international feminist literature and history. -- Midwest Book Review
