Women, Ideology and Language in the Ecuadorian Print Media
This study addresses the portrayal of women in a political cross section of current Ecuadorian newspapers. An analysis of these news stories shows that political ideology is a major determinant of the journalistic treatment of women. Information about women, however, is mostly absent from media reports. Ideology has to be considered in media gender research to understand why women are not well represented. If news continues to focus on public power, women will have to gain public power to be included in the news.

Un pueblo y un camino
Desde Quito les dijeron que su carretera era imposible, y así parecía: implicaba abrir 120 kilómetros de trocha, cruzar tres quebradas de grandes precipicios y construir el puente más largo del Ecuador de entonces. Pero sin ella, la «Banda oriental del Carchi» (Julio Andrade, Huaca, Cristóbal Colón, San Gabriel, La Paz, Bolívar) se habría quedado aislada del resto del país y sin acceso al nuevo medio de transporte que revolucionaba al mundo: el automóvil. Los pueblos del Carchi y del norte de Imbabura, con el liderazgo de la ciudad de San Gabriel, decidieron construirla con sus propias fuerzas, entre 1927 y 1936. Este trabajo se enmarca dentro de dos géneros poco cultivados en el país: la historia local y la historia de las vías de comunicación. Está escrito principalmente para la gente común, y permitirá descubrir qué elementos hicieron posible esa hazaña; conocer sobre las mingas más grandes del Ecuador republicano; reconocer a los héroes visibles y anónimos de la gesta; observar cómo la población del cantón Montúfar celebró ese triunfo; reflexionar sobre las posibilidades de que los pueblos definan su propia identidad, también en el mundo de hoy.

Gender, State, and Medicine in Highland Ecuador
In 1921 Matilde Hidalgo became the first woman physician to graduate from the Universidad Central in Quito, Ecuador. Hidalgo was also the first woman to vote in a national election and the first to hold public office. Author Kim Clark relates the stories of Matilde Hidalgo and other women who successfully challenged newly instituted Ecuadorian state programs in the wake of the Liberal Revolution of 1895. New laws, while they did not specifically outline women's rights, left loopholes wherein women could contest entry into education systems and certain professions and vote in elections. As Clark demonstrates, many of those who seized these opportunities were unattached women who were socially...

Health in the Highlands
"In the early to mid-twentieth century, the governments of Ecuador and Guatemala sought to expand Western medicine within their countries, with the goals of addressing endemic diseases and improving infant and maternal health. These efforts often clashed with indigenous medical practices, particularly in the rural highlands. Drawing on extensive, original archival research, historian David Carey Jr. shows that indigenous populations embraced a syncretic approach to health, combining traditional and new practices. At times, the governments of both nations encouraged--or at least allowed--such a synthesis, yet they also attacked indigenous lifeways, going so far as to criminalize native medica...
