This paper analyses peasant women's political agency in Latin America, focusing on two organisations--the MMC (Movimento das Mulheres Campesinas--Movimiento de las Mujeres Campesinas--Movement of Peasant Women in Brazil) and the ANAMURI (Asociación Nacional de Mujeres Rurales e Indígenas--Associação Nacional de Mulheres Rurais e Indígenas--National Association of Rural and Indigenous Women in Chile). It compares and contrasts the cultural and historical differences that have shaped the women's movement in each country. It investigates how a transnational identity can build unity within the diversity of organisations in Latin America, and how peasant women have challenged the patriarchal culture and developed a popular feminism connected with class struggle. This study suggests that the identification of peasant women as feminists is a new phenomenon in Latin America. This can clearly be seen in their discourses and subversive practices, and expressed through the slogan: "without feminism there is no socialism", stated during the fourth Assembly of the Articulation of Peasant Women from the Latin American Coordination of Rural Organisation (CLOC)--Via Campesina.
