Section 2, Race and Nation, Molyneux

"Mobilization Without Emancipation? Women's Interests, the State, and Revolution in Nicaragua", Maxine Molyneux

• Women's participation in the fall of the Nicaraguan dictator, Anastasio Somoza, was seen as part of a unified effort against repression and brutality that transcended class, age or gender, however, a universalizing of goals should not mean the loss of specific identities of the revolutionary subjects
  
• Although at a higher level woman may have some interests in common, there is not consensus over what these issues are, and no casual explanation for women's subordination
