Revolutionizing Motherhood examines one of the most astonishing human rights movements of recent years. During the Argentine juntas Dirty War against subversives, as tens of thousands were abducted, tortured, and disappeared, a group of women forged the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and changed Argentine politics forever. The Mothers began in the 1970s as an informal group of working-class housewives making the rounds of prisons and military barracks in search of their disappeared children. As they realized that both state and church officials were conspiring to withhold information, they started to protest, claiming the administrative center of Argentina the Plaza de Mayo for their center stage. In this volume, Marguerite G. Bouvard traces the history of the Mothers and examines how they have transformed maternity from a passive, domestic role to one of public strength. Bouvard also gives a detailed history of contemporary Argentina, including the militarys debacle in the Falklands, the fall of the junta, and the efforts of subsequent governments to reach an accord with the Mothers. Finally, she examines their current agenda and their continuing struggle to bring the murderers of their children to justice.

Acknowledgments
I extend grateful acknowledgment to my family for their understanding and support: my husband Jacques for his countless hours of help with formatting and printing; my son Pierre, who gave me frequent-flyer tickets for Buenos Aires; and my daughter Laurence, who checked my syntax and meticulously copyedited with the eye of a linguistics expert. I especially thank Mona Harrington for her painstaking reading, excellent suggestions, and unfailing moral support; Martha Collins for her careful reading and helpful suggestions; Molly Lyndon Shanley for her reading and support; Ludmilla Mim for her translation of my correspondence; Hctor and Primi Mohina for the loan of videos and the hours of watching their videos of the Mothers at their home in Buenos Aires; the Mothers' photojournalists for sharing their work; Carmen d'Elia for sharing her special insights and experience; and Kevin Noblet and Oscar Serrat of the Associated Press. The assistance of Christopher Keith Hall of Amnesty International is also greatly appreciated.
I gratefully acknowledge the support and encouragement provided by the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women from 1989 to 1992, the Women's Studies program at Brandeis University, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and, for the time and space to write the final draft, the Leighton Artists Colony, Banff Centre for the Arts.
