  Although they diverge in their characterizations of the relationship between feminism and politics, all of these positions share a general understanding that to philosophically discuss Latin American feminism is to engage in political theory in a way that elucidates the diverse and complex relationships among women, gender, and politics. This list is by no means exhaustive, and further figures like Rosario Castellanos of Mexico and Celia Amorós of Spain should not be forgotten as they influenced the positions developed by these thinkers. Furthermore, philosophers like Ofelia Schutte, Cuban-born and writing in the United States, have made notable contributions to the landscape of Latin American feminist philosophy, reminding readers that the feminist tradition occupies a part of a wider tradition of political liberation and theory of Latin America. All of these women dared to be thinkers at times when being a Latin American woman in philosophy was unheard of, and they have come to form the foundation of a canon of thinkers that paved the way for new and emerging voices.
