Feminist theorizing in time and space: a study from Mesoamerica
Feminist thought has been expressed, in one or another way, since twelfth-century; its development has peculiarities in every geographical region. Gaining the right to vote for women was one of the earlier achievements of feminist movement. Gender as an analytical category in the social science emerged in Latin America in the seventies. Since then, there has been a huge advancement in feminist theorizing; this theorization has been complex and, at times, disorderly and has always sought to engage with and reinterpret the foundations of the theoretical frameworks it coexists with and, at times, draws from. In this essay a synthesis of feminist theorizing is made, framing it in three phases which locate the theoretical development of gender applying it in Mesoamerica. It concludes, finally, offering some theoretical elements for the analysis of gender transformations through time and space.
