Drawing on extensive interviews with leaders and participants  Margaret Power tells the story of these right-wing women  examining their motives  the tactics they employed  and the impact of their ideas and activity on Chilean society and politics. The ability of the right to exploit established ideas about gender  Power argues  was key to the oppositions success  and she explores how conservatives appealed to women as wives and mothers to mobilize them. Power also pays attention to the earlier history of these efforts  including the formation of Womens Action of Chile in 1963  and to the support provided by the U.S. government. The epilogue examines right-wing womens reactions to the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in 1998 and their role in the elections of 2000. By focusing on the women who opposed Allende and supported Pinochet  this book offers a fresh look at the complex dynamics of Chilean politics in the last half of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646930051125,"sku":"ByrdShop_0271021950","price":36.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780271021959.jpg?v=1781681884","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rightwing-women-in-chile-feminine-power-and-the-struggle-against-allende-19641973-9780271021959","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
