Serena Cosgrove is an assistant professor in the humanities at Seattle University. Previously she worked with the AVINA Foundation, building a knowledge management program for staff and partners throughout Latin America.
"Serena Cosgrove effectively captures the dynamics of women's civil
society organizing in this carefully written book. Her excellent
and compelling ethnographic explorations are bound to inspire
reflection, action, and committed scholarship."
*University of San Francisco*
"In the face of seemingly relentless violence, the portraits of
women activists in Cosgrove's Leadership from the Margins offers
insight into some of the more public dimensions of women's
empowerment and resistance."
*Qualitative Sociology*
"Cosgrove's strongest material depicts how women activists handle
gender issues when they are called to class, revolutionary, or
ethnic struggles. Her update in each country's women's movenemt is
also nicely done. Recommended."
