ABSTRACT
This essay explores Latin American feminist regional organizing from the late eighteenth century to today. Real and imagined links of solidarity have long powered feminisms in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing some of their most dynamic instantiations and innovative theories. Historically, hemispheric feminist groups have demanded not only political and civil equality, but also recognition of women’s productive and reproductive labor, as well as anti-imperialism, anti-fascism, and anti-racism. Today, Latin American and Caribbean movements provide critical examples of intersectional and decolonial feminist activism that have transformed women’s rights as well as local, national, and global politics.
