Synopsis "Searching for Democracy: Women, Domestic Work, and Social Reproduction in Latin America"

How can we achieve lasting social and political equality for women? Leda Pérez tackles this thorny question in Searching for Democracy by interrogating egalitarianism in Latin America, where nearly 20% of women work in domestic service. She examines how women's participation in society, labor, and politics continues to be conditioned by their relationship to domestic and care work.Pérez argues that women's relationship to these spheres of life is indicative of a nation's development and democracy. She provides a comparative focus on the socio-cultural valuation of this labor and the experiences of women in Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, among other countries. Pérez asserts that it is only by changing sociocultural views on this "women's work" that nations can create political change, foster equitable legislation, and ensure implementation of effective policies that benefit women.Searching for Democracy shows why real and lasting equality cannot be achieved without fully enfranchising women in the lowest tiers of employment and closing the equality gap among women. Pérez's models for gender equality are relevant for women around the world.
