A sewing and knitting group that provided garments and supplies for the Allied armies in World War II, the Junta de la Victoria was a politically minded association that mobilized women in the fight against fascism. Without explicitly characterizing itself as feminist, the organization promoted women's political rights and visibility and attracted forty-five thousand members. The Junta ushered diverse constituencies of Argentine women into political involvement in an unprecedented experiment in pluralism, coalition-building, and political struggle. Sandra McGee Deutsch uses this internationally minded but local group to examine larger questions surrounding the global conflict between democracy and fascism"-- CN - HQ1236.5.A7 D488 2023 SN - 0822989964 SN - 9780822989967 SN - 9780822947813 SN - 0822947811 KW - Junta de la Victoria (Buenos Aires, Argentina) KW - Women : Political activity : Argentina : History : 20th century.
