Description

The expansion of married women’s property rights used to be a main achievement of the first wave of feminism in Latin The usa. As Carmen Diana Deeere and Magdalena Leon reveal, on the other hand, the disjuncture between rights and actual ownership remains vast. That is particularly true in rural areas, where the distribution of land between women and men is highly unequal. Of their pioneering, twelve-country comparative study, the authors argue that property ownership is immediately related to women’s bargaining power throughout the household and community, point out changes attributable to latest gender-progressive legislation, and identify additional areas for future reform, including inheritance rights of wives.
