Women Build the Welfare State: Performing Charity and Creating Rights in Argentina, 1880-1955
In her latest opus, Donna Guy traces the evolution of social welfare policy in Argentina from the 1880s through the first Peronist era ending in 1955. Focusing on child welfare and family law, Guy stresses broad continuities in the approach to social issues not only across the decades but between social groups commonly assumed to be on opposite sides of most questions in Argentine history. While insisting that women’s social work is crucial to th…

White Slavery and Mothers Alive and Dead: The Troubled Meeting of Sex, Gender, Public Health, and Progress in Latin America
The essays in White Slavery and Mothers Alive and Dead are the collected works of historian Donna J. Guy, chronicling her ideas and her impact on the field of gender and women’s history in Latin America from the 1980s to the present. As she states in her introduction, these wide-ranging essays share a “gendered connection to work, family, and the rise of increasingly interventionist nation-states in Latin America.” While readers familiar with the…
Gender, Welfare and the Catholic Church in Argentina: Conferencias de Señoras de San Vicente de Paul, 1890-1916
Between 1880 and 1916, elite women engaged in social welfare and transformed the politics of subordination in Argentina as they brokered a new accommodation between the Catholic Church and the Argentine state. Without ever claiming equality, women made it clear that the progress of the new nation—as male intellectuals and statesmen conceived it—could not be accomplished without their assistance. By stressing what they considered to be their essen…
Política, médicos y enfermedades: Lecturas de historia de la salud en la Argentina
Mirta Zaida Lobato has brought together a collection of articles on the history of health in Argentina that will be a valuable addition to the published work in this field. Much of the writing that exists on this topic has focused on the rise of public health professionals (higienistas), who functioned as the arbiters of sanitation and pathology between the state and the populace. This volume enhances such an approach with its broadly conceived n…
Gendering the Obstacles to Progress in Positivist Argentina, 1880-1920
N K r E V E R believe in tears of a woman. On verge of becoming one of Latin America's leading intellectuals, Jose Ingenieros extracted this traditional wisdom from tale of legendary gaucho Martin Fierro and incorporated it into his medical thesis.' While Ingenieros did not usually quote from the most expressive of gauchesco poems, he frequently interpreted other historical narratives to find a pattern for current events. In this case, Ingenieros…
