  The years spanning the 1970s–1990s were marked with important social and political transformation for women in Latin America amidst complex political backdrops. Transitions from military regimes and processes of democratization as well as peace negotiations provide the context in which women’s mobilization emerges across Latin America. The plurality of political conditions gave way to the development of diverse feminist ideas. The feminism of this time, also commonly referred to as neofeminism, was particularly attuned to the body (Bartra 2001: 1). Grounded in the pre-1970 history of Latin American feminism, neofeminism strove toward the validation of women’s rights, but specifically centered on women’s freedom over their bodies. The neofeminist perspective translated into mobilizing on issues of abortion, motherhood, sexual autonomy, rape, and abuse (Bartra 2001: 1).
