The collection by no means attempts a comprehensive account of the topics named in its title. Rather, it takes the form of a series of case studies that examine particular dynamics and raise questions that ultimately will prove essential to a more comprehensive account. The intention here is decidedly to open rather than conclude discussion. The overall corpus of research on women in Latin America shows little focus on women's intellectual, literary, political, and pedagogical activity. In part owing to its very important links with policy studies, research on women has been oriented toward topics such as health, reproduction, migration, demographics, and development. When women's participation in politics is discussed in this context, often only grass- roots and local activity are considered. When the question of culture is raised, the term is often taken to encompass everyday life, domestic activity, manual work, religious practices, marriage, the body. Feminism has taught us the immense importance of these dimensions of women's being and activity. At the same time, the tendency to restrict culture and politics in these ways with respect to women reinforces a male elitism that claims serious intellectual, artistic, and political work as exclusive preserves of men. Women now striving for legitimacy and equality in these arenas (such as ourselves) must contend with such prejudices every day. We must know our predecessors and the history of their struggle, and make them known to others. The eight authors published here make up a study group, the UC- Stanford Seminar on Feminism and Culture in Latin America, which has. In our reading and discussion we have examined women's literary and journalistic production and their participation in national and international political life; we have undertaken bibliographical projects; we have worked together to design new courses and made a number of panel presentations at regional and national conferences. At all such events, we have encountered other women scholars working in related areas, often in considerable isolation. Their enthusiasm for our project, and for the collective nature of our work, has been a vital source of encouragement. While all of our members had at some time participated in feminist study groups or in women's studies programs, the decision to seek institutional support as a research group was without precedent among us. Some members had participated in an earlier group of California women Latin Americanists, which organized itself informally to counteract the marginalization of women and women's issues in mainstream scholarly meetings. This group's effectiveness, and the solidarity it promoted, inspired us to reconstitute it into the present seminar. The increasing legitimacy of feminist inquiry made it possible for us to seek institutional support from the Stanford- Berkeley Joint Center for Latin American Studies. We appreciate the funding and logistical support the center has provided over the years. The essays included in this volume represent only a part of the seminar's work. The group remains a forum for discussion (most recently on issues of gender and state) and a setting where members can present their own work in progress and share new findings. Given the history of women in the academy and the continued resistance to feminist scholarship in most academic departments, one of the group's essential functions has been to guide and support individual members as they meet the challenges of the profession. Since our members represent a wide range of career situations, from graduate student to part- time lecturer to full professor, this support function has proved to be an important priority. We have also sought continuously to shape our work along lines of feminist collective practice. The seminar retains a fundamental commitment to collaborative intellectual activity, with its particular ability to mediate among areas that benefit from mutual understanding. We see collective practice as the key to our efforts to mediate among literary studies, history, politics, area studies, feminist theory, and Europe and the Americas. To our great benefit, the group's activities have brought us into contact with information and research networks of feminist scholars in the United States and Latin America. It is clear that new forms of research and criticism are meeting the challenge of integrating women into the scholarly picture of Latin America. We hope to continue to participate in this vital and exciting project.

The partial and often biased record of women's thought and activity in that cultural region has limited our historical perspectives and our understanding of feminist contributions. For example, Sor Juana In. As recent investigations in women's history show, the activities and achievements of women have not been restricted to the celebrated appearance of rare genius, such as Sor Juana. By the latter half of the nineteenth century, numerous women in lettered culture had advanced the issues of women's rights, especially with respect to civil status, family, and participation in literary life. The typical forum for these ideas was not the public podium, but the political journal, where the arguments for women's equality were cast in terms of progressivism and the hope of a better life in the New World. Latin American intellectuals, male and female, were well aware of the women's movement in Europe and the United States; the international exchange of ideas was particularly important for the earliest proponents of women's rights in Latin America. However, the acknowledgment of the influence of international intellectual currents should not be allowed to obscure the fact that a feminist critique of society arose out of the distinctive experience of the Latin American women themselves. Of necessity, our book examines the work of Sor Juana, who questioned her own self- presentation and the representation of herself and other women by the patriarchal culture. We then turn to the decades between 1. Latin America. It is in this era that the first generation of urban, literate women appeared in. The emergence of women novelists, poets, journalists, and political activists and the development of a shared feminist consciousness in the early twentieth century in certain nations of Latin America are directly linked to the trends of modernization. Major social upheavals took place in Mexico and Cuba, but women intellectuals first found their strongest voice, and audience, in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil. Our studies concentrate to a great extent, then, on this second regional grouping. Gender in modern societies is a fundamental social category that shapes every dimension of human existence. Its interaction with class is dynamic and highly varied. On one hand, class hierarchies and relations of exploitation are reproduced within the gender system—for example, in relations between upper- class women and their female domestic employees. On the other hand, gender creates inevitable and significant instabilities in class hierarchies. It creates difference within class boundaries (upper- class women do not participate in society or culture in the same ways as upper- class men do), while it creates sameness across class boundaries (the experiences of upper- class and lower- class women have points in common). Official high culture has tended to suppress both these dimensions. The essays in this collection mainly explore the first dimension—that is, the struggle of women to participate in public culture, and the particularities of their participation, especially in print culture. Motivated by their sense of social injustice or by the way in which they understand their social and cultural privileges, the women studied in this volume ally themselves with wide- ranging political issues that transcend their class and gender. The case of Alfonsina Storni is exemplary of this class transformation. Coming from humble beginnings in a working- class family, Storni took advantage of democratic reforms in the educational codes in Argentina to pursue a career as a poet, teacher, journalist, and dramatist. Thus, the figure of the maestra is of interest not only as a transmitter of class culture but also as an actor across class boundaries and a frequent transgressor of her own class culture. Gabriela Mistral, the celebrated poet who emerged from desperate rural poverty in Chile, was later recognized, like Storni, for her pedagogical commitments, while she engaged in national debates about the destiny of her country.
