About this book

Pan American Women examines U.S. women activists' attempts to advance inter-American cooperation among women and further hemispheric peace between the World Wars. Threlkeld argues that diplomatic tensions in Mexico and the ongoing Revolution complicated these efforts, as Mexican women embraced a more nationalist political identity.

Reviews

"Pan American Women is the book that historians of feminism have been awaiting for a long time. Megan Threlkeld has given us a deeply researched study of interwar feminist interactions across time, nationality, politics, and organizations. She provides us with a rich portrait of activist women struggling to connect across ideologies and in the face of international political conflicts. I will be returning to this book again and again."—Ellen Carol DuBois, University of California, Los Angeles

"A remarkably perceptive study of the tensions between collaborative and imperialist sensibilities and the challenges of disentangling feminist goals from nationalist politics, even in ostensibly progressive internationalist settings."—Kristin Hoganson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
