Finally, she examines their current agenda and their continuing struggle to bring the murderers of their children to justice.. The Mothers began in the 1970s as an informal group of working-class housewives making the rounds of prisons and military barracks in search of their disappeared children. Revolutionizing Motherhood examines one of the most astonishing human rights movements of recent years. Bouvard traces the history of the Mothers and examines how they have transformed maternity from a passive, domestic role to one of public strength. Bouvard also gives a detailed history of contemporary Argentina, including the military's debacle in the Falklands, the fall of the junta, and the efforts of subsequent governments to reach an accord with the Mothers. During the Argentine junta's Dirty War against subversives, as tens of thousands were abducted, tortured, and disappeared, a group of women forged the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and changed Argentine politics forever. As they realized that both state and church officials were conspiring to withhold information, they started to protest, claiming the administrative center of Argentina the Plaza de Mayo

It began as a network of mothers who met while trying in vain to search for their children who had been `disappeared' by the government and grew into an internationally recognized and admired group committed to changing the structure of the Argentine political system from the bottom up. This book focuses on the journey of these women from traditional hous. life changing I was directed to read this for a class. I had no idea that it would cause me to change my way of thinking. We all know that the atrocities of disappearances exist, and we might even place a bit of distance between ourselves and the subjects of this book so we can feel better about our own place in life. However, getting close to this subject brings an awareness and sense that something needs to be done, not donation of money, or thinking about it every now and then, (although these actions help) but everyday we need to be doing something. What the Mothers of the Plaza . MPF said I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed it a lot. It is a great book. However, it presents only the story of "the Mothers of plaza de Mayo," but neglects to mentions the other relevant facts.I believe it needs to be read with other books, particularly history books, or a better understanding of the situation in Argentina at the moment, because the dissapeared ones not necessary were involved with the Montoneros (the paramilitary group that defacto government was after). So, in order for us to develop an objective understanding of the situation during this period in time, I believe it should be read
