This
analysis of Venezuelan women's organizing traces a sixty-year struggle
to democratize political practice and represent women's interests.
It also helps to explain some of the 'unfinished business' of Latin
American democratization: why women have had difficulty participating
in regimes they fought to restore, and how they seek inclusion.
Friedman's innovative theoretical approach uses gender analysis
to explain the impact of the 'political opportunity structure'—the
institutions, actors, and discourses—of democratization on women's
participation.
