The Feminist Tsunami: How Massive Feminist Struggles Are Impacting Women's Everyday Lives in Latin America

For my dissertation, I am broadly interested in looking at the effects that the latest wave of the feminist movement in Latin America has had on women's lives. I am particularly interested in looking at the past 7 years, starting in 2015, during which the movement has grown and peaked to become the most active political force in the region (Gutierrez 2019). While most research examining the rise of this movement has focused on theorizing its agenda, consisting of novel organizing and coalition-building strategies (Gago 2020; Furtado and Sosa 2020), I am interested in understanding how this movement shapes lived experiences and concrete social outcomes in women's lives-which we currently know little about.
