Descrição: This article examines women's movements in Ecuador, a small, ethnically diverse country reaching from the northwestern coast of South America across the peaks of the Andes mountains into the Amazon rainforest. Glidden et al argue that the perceived strength of a group or social movement organization differs depending on the scale or level of analysis of the study. By looking at women's organizations in three populations in Ecuador -- organized urban women in Quito who are primarily white or mestizo (a term referring to mixed-race), Indigenous women in the Andean highlands, and Afro-Ecuadorean or black women on Ecuador's northern coast -- at the local, national, and international scales, the authors found that women's empowerment does not transcend the level of analysis.
