ABSTRACT
The participation of women in public life is an ongoing and irreversible process which has become increasingly linked to global issues of democracy and development. Its resolution involves a range of actors: women and men, social entities, the state, public powers and the international community. From a feminist perspective, the aim is to ensure that these processes and relations move in a democratic direction. The project for change advocated by the women’s movement is itself undergoing transformation: its tone has become less belligerent and it is seeking a more measured public agenda in negotiation with other social actors and interests. How is this transformed agenda regarded by feminists themselves?
