Feminist History In Latin AmericaThe Feminist movement in Latin American countries began only in the 1920s after inspirations from outside influences. Because of the necessity of outside influence, feminism took hold only in larger cities where those influences could be heard. Everywhere else in Latin America, the tradition of patriarchy stood strong. Only a few examples of feminist leaders stand out in the Latin American movement where most of whom were examples of massive immigration. Paulina Luisi was from Uruguay and represented the country in international women's conferences around the world. Berta Lutz, a Brazilian, organized the Brazilian Federation for Feminine Progress.
