Identidades colectivas y movimientos de mujeres. El caso de "Madres Contra la Droga"

Abstract

This article focuses on the Spanish social movement "Mothers Against Drugs" which has been active since the 1980s. One of the chief aims of mothers' movements has been the construction of a collective identity more than the achievement of material objectives as it would be assumed by the academic literature on social movements. This article analyzes the goals of such a movement and demonstrates the prominence of forging collective identity within those goals.
