It describes the participation of upper class women in the country's philanthropic establishment thought the Beneficent Society, founded in the early nineteenth century; the development of the public education system- considered the best in Latin America- through the strong contribution of North American female teachers; and the influence of nineteenth century free thought and socialism upon woman's movement. Despite the broadening of education and the positive effect of European immigration upon Argentine institutions, it was not until the middle of the twentieth century that woman suffrage was finally achieved--by a bizarre twist of fate through the efforts of the Perón regime, and to the outrage and consternation of most Argentine feminists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarifran Carlson\u003c\/b\u003e holds a doctorate in Latin American History from the University of Chicago, and has taught at Northwestern and Roosevelt Universities.
