This page is written like it is arguing to prove a point, and not like a presentation of facts. It definitely needs some revision.
This is one of those examples that irritates me about Wikipedia --the outreach to the feminist communities has been negligible. I will come back to this page and work on it. I will also try to bring in more Latin Americanist feminist scholars to the fray but that will take time.
The last contributor has really sloppy writing yet good intentions. Latin America's feminist movement was a *feminine* movement inspired by Spanish and colonial women authors like Santa Teresa de Avila (15th century Spain) and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (17th Century Mexico). I want to get all my scholarly references together before I start writing this up, but as a former Latin American Literature professor and currently one of the top feminist bloggers in the US, I should know a thing or two about the subject :)
So please, nominate this page for a massive clean up.

With lines like, "The reason many of us don't know them is because it serves our system not to know them" I cannot continue reading this page as an impartial portrayal of facts.
