This landmark provision was part of a larger project to transform the state and expand social inclusion during Hugo Chávez?s presidency. The Bolivarian revolution opened new opportunities for poor and working-class?or popular?women?s organizing. The state recognized their unpaid labor and maternal gender role as central to the revolution. Yet even as state recognition enabled some popular women to receive public assistance, it also made their unpaid labor and organizing vulnerable to state appropriation. Offering the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon, Engendering Revolution demonstrates that the Bolivarian revolution cannot be understood without comprehending the gendered nature of its state-society relations. Showcasing field research that comprises archival analysis, observation, and extensive interviews, these thought-provoking findings underscore the ways in which popular women sustained a movement purported to exalt them, even while many could not access social security and remained socially, economically, and politically vulnerable. 606 $aPoor women$zVenezuela$xSocial conditions 606 $aPoor women$zVenezuela 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zVenezuela 606 $aUnpaid labor$zVenezuela 606 $aFeminism$zVenezuela$xHistory 607 $aVenezuela$xPolitics and government$y1999- 607 $aVenezuela$xSocial conditions$y1999- 615 0$aPoor women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPoor women 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aUnpaid labor 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory. 676 $a305.484420987 700 $aElfenbein$b Rachel$01538833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793709803321 996 $aEngendering revolution$93789236 997 $aUNINA
