   Title = {Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary
             Mexico},
   Publisher = {Duke University Press},
   Year = {2005},
   Abstract = {Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico investigates
             women's political organizing during a critical stage of
             regime consolidation. Rebutting the image of Mexican women
             as conservative and anti-revolutionary, this book shows
             women activists challenging prevailing beliefs about the
             masculine foundations of citizenship. Piecing together
             material from national and regional archives, popular
             journalism, and oral histories, it examines how women
             inhabited the conventionally manly role of citizen by
             weaving together its quotidian and formal traditions,
             drawing strategies from local political struggles and
             competing gender ideologies. Revolutionary Women in
             Postrevolutionary Mexico explores the complexity of
             postrevolutionary Mexican politics, exploring the goals and
             outcomes of women's organizing in Mexico City and the port
             city of Acapulco as well as in three rural locations: the
             southeastern state of Yucatán, the central state of
             Michoacán, and the northern region of the Comarca Lagunera.
             Combining the strengths of national and regional approaches,
             this comparative perspective sets in relief the
             specificities of citizenship as a lived experience.},

@article{fds50323,
   Author = {Jocelyn Olcott},
   Title = {"The Greatest Consciousness-Raising Event in History": The
             1975 International Women's Year Conference and the Challenge
             of Transnational Feminism},
   Publisher = {Oxford University Press},
   Year = {2006},
   Abstract = {In June 1975, thousands of people converged on Mexico City
             for the UN conference celebrating International Women’s
             Year (IWY). Billed as the “greatest consciousness-raising
             event in history,” it opened with considerable fanfare as
             both the official conference and the parallel tribune for
             nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) quickly became stages
             for political performances ranging from the sartorial to the
             ideological. Observers regard IWY as a watershed moment in
             transnational second-wave feminism. The formal conference
             offered an unprecedented opportunity to put women at the
             center of international policymaking, while the NGO
             forum’s chaotic atmosphere and frequent confrontation
             exposed the fault lines among those women most vocally
             committed to pursuing a transnational feminist
             agenda.},
