Nuria Chinchilla and Consuelo León

Chapter 1 in Female Ambition, 2005, pp 7-24 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Our times are undoubtedly a time of women.1 There are three basic events that have taken place around the status of women in this century: the right to vote with its consequent legal autonomy with respect to civil rights; greater equality in access to education; and the massive entry of women in the job market.
