Abstract

This paper aims to study how a transnational feminist movement emerged in the Americas and had a significant period of activity in the 1930s. It examines its goals and political strategies, as well as the impact of collective mobilization. Mobilizing collectively at the transnational and international level allowed feminists from the American continent to gain some victories as well as political legitimacy. We will see how mobilizing collectively at the continental level served them as a strategy of struggle to acquire symbolic or material resources. At times, it increased the legitimacy of feminism that feminists were unable to obtain in their countries. The detour by the international was therefore extremely useful to them to put pressure on their governments. Besides, they did not conceive of their struggles in isolation. They believed that in order to obtain civil and political rights, but also the maintenance of peace on the continent, they had to build a collective struggle that transcended their borders.
20世纪30年代美洲的跨国女权运动
本文旨在研究一场跨国女权运动是如何在美洲出现的,并在20世纪30年代有一个重要的活动时期。它审查其目标和政治战略,以及集体动员的影响。在跨国和国际层面上的集体动员使得来自美洲大陆的女权主义者获得了一些胜利以及政治上的合法性。我们将看到在大陆一级的集体动员如何为他们提供了一种斗争战略,以获得象征性或物质资源。有时,它增加了女权主义的合法性,这是女权主义者在他们的国家无法获得的。因此,国际社会绕道而行,对他们向本国政府施加压力极为有用。此外,他们并不孤立地看待自己的斗争。他们认为,为了获得公民权利和政治权利,也为了维护非洲大陆的和平,他们必须建立一场超越国界的集体斗争。
