## About this book

Feminist Policymaking in Chile examines the strategic efforts of Chilean feminists to secure legislative reforms and improve women's rights. Focusing on the period between 1990 and 2008, this political science study analyzes sixty-three bills introduced to the legislature. The text explores a wide range of gender equity issues, including reproductive rights, health, educational opportunities, and labor and marriage laws.

Author Liesl Haas utilizes this volume of feminist theory and public policy research to identify the specific conditions that lead to successful policy changes. By evaluating the impact of the feminist movement and the presidency of Michelle Bachelet, the book develops a predictive theory of policy success. This social science analysis provides critical insights into social policy and women's studies that are applicable across other Latin American countries.
