  Given the impact of the Mexican Revolution, it is no surprise that some of the first feminist ideas to reach historical identification are found in its wake. Nevertheless, feminist ideas stretched beyond Mexico and across Latin America and the Caribbean. In 1880, women abolitionists in Brazil published a newspaper titled A familia and argued for changes in dress norms. In 1910, Argentina witnessed the first Feminist International Congress which fought for peace, education, and social participation (Gargallo 2004: 85). In 1912, women in Colombia declared the defense of civil rights of married women. In 1916, women in Panamá founded Club Ariel and Centro de Cultural Feminina, which supported intellectual and physical education as well as the political life of women, and whose motto centered on virtue and nationhood. In 1924, Visitación Padilla denounced the presence of U.S. marine military infantry in Honduras and Central America in the Boletín de la Defensa Nacional. She founded the Círculo de Cultura Femenina which supported the education of women and resisted North American military intervention during the Second Honduran Civil War (1924). In 1928, women of Ecuador sued the state, demanding the right to vote, and received it one year later (Gargallo 2004: 86).
