En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the tension between women's rights and conservative religious views, focusing on divorce and abortion laws in Spain, Chile, and Argentina. It argues that understanding these political dynamics requires examining the distribution of economic and political power rather than solely public opinion. By shifting the debate, it highlights the challenges of democratic consolidation and social policy reform in Latin America, particularly in the context of inequality. Additionally, it contrasts these issues with the successful promotion of women's rights in European countries.
