Supermadre
The title of this book, Supermadre, is ironic. It means, not that women have begun to exercise real power in Latin American political life, but that their participation is mostly confined to roles that are extensions of their roles as mothers—health, education, welfare, for example—and then only on the lower levels of policy-making. Elsa Chaney begins her study with an examination of various attempts to explain women's virtual absence from decision-making councils not only in Latin America but also world-wide, concluding that their motherhood role has had the profoundest effect on the nature of their political activities. She then analyzes the images and realities of women in Latin American society from colonial times to the present. The remainder of the book is a detailed study of women in politics and government in Latin America, with emphasis on the contrasting cases of Peru and Chile. In conclusion, Chaney suggests that women will make only slow progress toward full participation in public life until they themselves stop seeing their role in politics as that of the supermadre.

This collection of essays illuminates the experiences of pre-20th-century Latin American women....There is surprisingly rich information about Indian and black women....The diverse patterns of family roles and sex polarizations, trends in the feminist movement, and women's political participation are themes of significant importance in the essays. A welcome contribution to women's studies and to Latin American history, expecially since there is little available in English covering this.

Entre Líneas
Entre líneas invita a la relectura de la historia, la arquitectura y la modernidad a través del aporte de las arquitectas en Chile desde su entrada a la universidad en los años veinte (los hombres lo hicieron en 1849). Inspira la capacidad de las jóvenes editoras para construir ‘mancomunidad’ con un extenso colectivo de personas e instituciones. Desde la epistemología feminista que marca la investigación, ningún conocimiento se desliga de quien lo estudia. Es en este tipo de iniciativas que reconozco cómo la universidad se deja interpelar por nosotras: estudiantes, profesoras y directoras o decanas ‘recién llegadas’ hace más de un siglo. También me anima ver cómo cada vez...
