Though a
growing force, feminism is still relatively new
to Peru, and essentially urban. However, there
are two major feminist groups: Flora Tristan,
Avenida Arenales 601, Lima, which is allied to
the United Left and whose basic tenet is "first
socialism, then the feminist revolution"; and
the less radical Peru Mujer, though neither of
these are likely to be of enormous interest to
travellers.
Peru's one feminist magazine , Mujeres y
Sociedad ( Women and Society), is published
quarterly. For other literature and advice, try
Flora Tristan, the Libreria de la Mujer bookshop
in Avenida Arenales, Lima; or the Women's
Centre, Quilca, Lima, which is run by nuns. The
Peruvian Women's Association (Association Peru
Mujer) can be contacted at Leon Velarde 1275,
Lima (tel 01/422-3655, 441-5187 or 471-1524).
