Institutional Revolutionary Party
The Institutional Revolutionary Party (, PRI) is a Mexican political party founded in 1929 that held uninterrupted power in the country for 71 years from 1929 to 2000, first as the National Revolutionary Party (, PNR), then as the Party of the Mexican Revolution (, PRM), and finally renaming itself as the Institutional Revolutionary Party in 1946.
Feminism in Mexico
The period beginning in 1990 marked a shift in the politics of Mexico which would change the country from the control of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to a National Action Party (PAN) candidate in 1989, which was followed in 1997 by PRI's loss of control of the lower house and the loss of the presidency in 2000. The impact that end of the virtual one-party-rule would have on women in Mexico was an open question. 1990 also saw the birth of "Debate Feminista" (Feminist Debate), a publication founded by Marta Lamas, which aimed at connecting academic feminist theory with the practices of activists in the women’s movement. "Debate" has become one of the most important journals in Latin America, because it also prints articles written by men.
