  One notable characteristic of feminism during this time is the recognition of womanhood as a shared status. Women during these decades found identity in their status of womanhood and their shared condition that differentiated them from men (Gargallo 2004: 88). They rejected “man” as the standard model around which their political action organized. The push for social and political transformation focused less on equality (e.g., the right to vote) and more on a desire for liberty, denying notions of femininity as subordinate to masculinist constructions of humanity (Gargallo 2004: 111). Latin American feminism of the late 20th century encouraged encounters between women that recognized them as subjects, with their own histories, and on their own terms (Gargallo 2004: 88).
