Overview
«Este libro reúne textos de esa época escritos por autoras vinculadas a uno de los grupos más importantes y longevos del feminismo mexicano. Inspiradas por las protestas del año de 1970 en Estados Unidos, poco más de una veintena de mujeres de la Ciudad de México formaron Mujeres en Acción Solidaria (MAS).
Su primer acto público fue una acción de protesta alrededor de la maternidad como destino manifiesto de las mujeres, en mayo de 1971. A principios de 1974, el grupo se escindió y la mayor parte de sus integrantes formaron el Movimiento de Liberación de la Mujer (MLM) con la intención explícita de identificarse con la corriente internacional que pugnaba por la liberación de la mujer. [...] Aunque son representativos de las ideas de un grupo concreto de feministas mexicanas, los textos contenidos en esta antología restauran la historia de otras mujeres y grupos que se movilizaron alrededor del género en distintas partes de México en distintos momentos. Son puertos de entrada a cientos de experiencias de organización y protesta. Historias que habían sido olvidadas entonces y que lo volvieron a ser después.» -Ana Sofía Rodríguez Everaert
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Liberation! Yes, that’s what we yearned for, just like the thousands of young women who fill the streets today chanting, Alerta, alerta, alerta que camina, la lucha feminista por América Latina (Look out, the feminist struggle for Latin America is underway).” - Marta Lamas
“This book is a compilation of writings by figures affiliated with one of Mexico’s most important and enduring feminist groups. Inspired by the 1970 protests in the United States, twenty-odd women in Mexico City founded Mujeres en Acción Solidaria (Women Acting in Solidarity).
Its first public act, in May 1971, was a protest against the idea of motherhood as the goal for all women. The group split in early 1974, with the largest faction going on to create the Movimiento de Liberación de la Mujer (Women’s Liberation Movement), with the explicit objective of identifying itself with the international feminist movement. [...] Although the texts in this anthology represent the ideas of a specific Mexican feminist organization, they also reflect the history of other women and gender-based groups across Mexico at other moments in time and serve as an entry point to hundreds of experiences. Once forgotten, they have now been revived.” -Ana Sofía Rodríguez Everaert
