Gago, Verónica ; Aguilar, Raquel Gutiérrez, Women Rising in Defence of Life , NACLA Report on the Americas, Vol. 50, no. 4, 2018, pp. 364-368 This article sheds light on women’s uprisings in Latin America and places particular emphasis on proposing a new framing for the struggles. Firstly, it stresses the need to revitalise a non-state centric type of politics. Secondly, it proposes the renewal of new forms of togetherness that could overpower patriarchal, colonial and capitalist structures. Thirdly, it argues the necessity to challenge the control exercised over women’s bodies and minds.
