| book description |

From Mexico to Patagonia, the struggle for women's rights in Latin America comes alive in the voices of the artists and activists making the change. La Lucha gathers the voices of 30 artists, scholars, and activists, from 17 countries, actively engaged in the fight for womenâ€™s rights in Latin America. From the patriarchy to femicide, to the inflections of identity embedded in colour, class, and indigenous cultures, their struggle embodies the contested definitions and priorities of feminism. Their solidarity, and tirelessness, has yielded striking, game-changing results in areas as disparate, and as fundamental to womenâ€™s lives, as reproductive health, environmentalism, anti-colonialism, andÂ human rights. With contributors that include Isabel Allende, Selva Almada, Gabriela CabezÃ³n CÃ¡mara, Valeria Luiselli, Lina Meruane, Claudia PiÃ±eiro, and Cristina Rivera Garza, this unprecedented collection is sure to challenge, provoke, and inspire.
