CHINCHILLA, Norma Stoltz. Classe, gênero e soberania na Nicarágua. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 1993, vol.01, n.02, pp.321-347. ISSN 1806-9584.

On March 8th, 1987, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN, the political party In power at that time In Nicaragua) published Its statement on the relation of women's struggles to the Nicaraguan Revolution. The author argues that this official statement is consistent with modern feminist views on some key points relating to the need to eliminate women's double workday, promote women's self-organization, and wage an ideological struggle against sexism in order for women's subordination to be eliminated. the author believes that the Sandinista Front's emphasis on ideological struggle and political organization represents an Important break with more economistic, orthodox Marxist approachs to analyzing the condition of women and has Important implications for Marxist feminism.
