>Louis: No revolution in Latin America, perhaps in the whole XX-XXI
century, has done so much for women than Cuba under Castro, but Margaret
Randall has become more critical of the Cuban experiment in changing gender
relations since Cuban Women Now" was originally published in the 1970s. (I
assume you are referring to the latest edition). Cf. her more recent work,
"Gathering Rage: The Failure of 20th Century Revolutions to Develop a
Feminist Agenda"
(NY: Monthly Review Press, 1992). Chapter four is dedicated to Cuba.
