¿Cómo llegamos hasta aquí? A la posibilidad de que, por primera vez en más de 200 años, una mujer pueda ser presidenta de México. El deber de la memoria. Del derecho al voto a la paridad en todo, hace un recorrido por los principales hechos, acciones, alianzas, reformas legales que han realizado mujeres mexicanas para construir los derechos político-electorales que ahora tienen. Con un estilo ameno y datos puntuales, Cecilia Lavalle Torres y Teresa Hevia Rocha, narran las acciones de las sufragistas para conseguir el derecho al voto de las mujeres mexicanas hace 70 años. Y, también, hacen inventario, para dar cuenta de lo que se ha hecho con esa herencia. Estamos ante un nuevo horizonte, dicen las autoras, desde el cual debemos reconocer el pasado, apreciar el presente, precisar los desafíos, reflexionar en lo que puede significar que una mujer sea presidenta de México y trazar el futuro.
Women have made significant inroads into political life in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred attacks, intimidation, and harassment.

Tracing its global emergence as a concept, Mona Lena Krook draws on insights from multiple disciplines--political science, sociology, history, gender studies, economics, linguistics, psychology, and forensic science--to develop a more robust version of this concept to support ongoing activism and inform future scholarly work. Krook argues that viole...
This book aims to fill a gap in research on women's political representation by developing a multidimensional assessment of female participation in subnational legislatures in a federal political system like Mexico. The Mexican experience in terms of women's political representation at the federal and subnational levels has been very successful, as the reforms created a more robust "gender electoral regime" that promoted an increase in the number of elected female legislators (1987-2021). Still, little is known about the impact of the rise in women's presence in Congresses on other dimensions of political representation, such as symbolic or substantive. Although previous studies on women's p...
This book examines the roots of systemic aggression against women in contemporary Mexico, and the connection between social practices and the institutional permissiveness of the Mexican State with regard to gendered violence. Since the democratic transition at the end of the 1990s, Mexico has registered an increase in the intensity and types of violence that have made life in some regions almost unsustainable. The chapters in this volume consider that capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy are interrelated processes that employ the technologies of gender and race as a continuation of the symbolic hegemony that treats feminized and racialized bodies as disposable. Against this background, it ...
