Abortion under Apartheid: nationalism, sexuality, and women’s reproductive rights in South Africa, by Susanne M. Klausen

administration, as its U.S. members touted the Mexicanization of the association in Mexico City. By this time, the association had also ‘withdrawn almost completely from any political discussion or activism’ (p. 199). Threlkeld also notes that U.S. women played no role as the Mexican women’s suffrage movement surged in the 1930s. Threlkeld frames this narrative within several historiographical debates. Specifically, she engages the literature on U.S. foreign relations, international women’s organizing, U.S.– Latin America relations, U.S. imperialism, feminist imperialism, and Mexican women’s post-revolutionary political mobilization. Her analysis relies upon an impressive array of archival evidence, using the papers of organizations like the Y.W.C.A. of U.S.A., the Pan American International Women’s Committee, the W.I.L.P.F., the Women’s Peace Society, and the L.W.V., and individual organizers like Carrie Chapman Catt, Doris Stevens, and Jane Addams. She also uses Spanish-language sources in the form of the annals from Mexican and Pan American women’s conferences, Mexican newspapers, and the writings of Robles de Mendoza of the I.A.C.W. If there is a minor quibble, it is that U.S. perspectives tend to dominate. Despite Threlkeld’s admirable effort to present the perspectives of Mexican women, more Mexican voices would have further enriched the already excellent analysis. Pan American Women is a readable, engaging account of international women’s mobilization in the 1920s and 1930s. It would be very appropriate for an undergraduate or graduate course on U.S. women’s history, U.S.–Latin American relations, or U.S. diplomatic history. It is also essential reading for anyone interested in international development and NGOs.
