Cotidiano Mujer (Everyday Woman) was a Uruguayan magazine published by the feminist collective of the same name from 1985 to 2013. Its objectives were to discuss human rights and women's rights, and to give visibility to aspects of the daily lives of women.
The magazine Cotidiano Mujer was founded by Lilián Celiberti, Elena Fonseca , and Anna María Colucci at the end of the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay, when Celiberti was released from prison. [1] [2] At that time there was a political and social effervescence linked to the democratic transition which facilitated the public visibility of a second feminist wave that was emerging in the country. This new feminist agenda sought to advance beyond formal civil and political rights, to examine the problems of everyday life, such as the distribution of work and power within families. [3]
In this environment, the magazine's first issue was published in September 1985, financed with an economic contribution by Colucci. [4]
The magazine had five periods, covering the years between 1985 and 2013, with several interruptions. In its 63 issues, Cotidiano Mujer dealt with topics such as labor rights, sexual and reproductive rights, the decriminalization of abortion, the political participation of women, women in sports, sexual diversity (especially lesbianism), motherhood, racism, migration, and secularism. [1]
The legalization of abortion in Uruguay was one of the main objectives of the organization and of the magazine, which began a campaign to this end in 1989. [5] [6] Another important focus of the magazine was questioning the image of women in traditional media. In this area, in 1997, with the support of UNICEF, a media monitoring program was carried out that produced more than 25,000 record cards on issues related to women and children. [7]

Feminism in Argentina is a set of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women in Argentina. Although some women have been considered precursors—among them Juana Manso and Juana Manuela Gorriti—feminism was introduced to the country as a result of the great European immigration wave that took place in the late 19th and early 20th century. The first feminists did not form a unified movement, but included anarchist and socialist activists, who incorporated women's issues into their revolutionary program, and prestigious freethinker women, who initially fought for access to higher education and, later, legal equality with men. The early 20th century was also full of women fighting for their freedom and rights in the workplace. Despite the efforts of the first-wave feminists, Argentine women did not acquire the right to vote until 1947, during Juan Perón's first government. His highly popular wife, Eva, championed women's suffrage and founded and ran the nation's first large-scale female political party, the Female Peronist Party. Although she refused to identify herself as a feminist, Eva Perón is valued for having redefined the role of women in politics.

Broadly speaking, they are first-wave feminism taking place from the mid-nineteenth century to 1965, second-wave feminism taking place from 1965 to 1975, and third-wave feminism taking place from 1975 to 2012.
Fourth-wave feminism in Spain is about digital participation in virtual spaces, encouraging debates and using collective force to enact change. It is about fighting patriarchal systems, denouncing violence against women, and discrimination and inequality faced by women. It is also about creating real and effective equality between women and men. It has several major themes, with the first and most important in a Spanish context being violence against women. Other themes include the abolition of prostitution, the condemnation of pornography, the support of legal abortion, the amplifying of women's voices, ensuring mothers and fathers both have access to parental leave, opposition to surrogacy, and wage and economic parity.
