In the twentieth (and twenty-first) centuries, Chile and Mexico experienced vast transformations, including votes for women, legalisation of divorce and adoption, earthquakes, revolution, a women president, military governments, dictatorship, tsunamis and, as a result of these events and more, new expectations for women's lives. This course examines these changes in Mexico and Chile, using a historical focus that puts women's lives and concerns at the centre of the story.

The histories written about women in Chile and Mexico are amongst the richest in Latin America. This course examines these histories across the twentieth century, discussing aspects of women's lives, in the 'public' and 'private' spheres, such as struggles for suffrage and the variety of women's work, as well as multiple forms of feminism and political activism. Using these histories, the course also questions why Mexico and Chile, in particular, have such a strong tradition of women's history.
This course is not available as part of a graduating curriculum with SP30PC: Women Making History: Mexico and Chile in the Twentieth Century A.
