“…Emergence of modern institutions and mass media brought about unprecedented opportunities for women to organize and challenge oppressive ideologies and systems such as patriarchy. Modern institutions also brought about modern values of equality, equity, and egalitarianism (Zafirovski 2011). The feminist movement has skillfully utilized these values not only to publicize but also to challenge the devastating effects of discrimination and exploitation on women's health and well being (Larson 1993).…”

Protecting women's sexual freedom has evolved as a modern value through a long process of social, economic, and institutional changes brought about by the ascend of human rights principles and societal engagements such as the feminist movement. We suggest that the concept of sexual freedom accommodates a more encompassing expression of the simultaneous demand for all aspects of personal, socioeconomic, and political resources related to the pursuit of women's well-being. The purpose of this study is to develop a construct of women's sexual freedom in the Mexican context. The data are from the National Survey on the Dynamics of Households Relationships, 2011. We use exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to model women's sexual freedom and test for invariance between working and non-working women. Results indicate that women's sexual freedom consists of four factors: reproductive rights, physical intimate partner violence, sexual intimate partner violence, and violence inflicted by others.

Beginning as a reaction to the French Revolution, a conservative ideology expressing anti-liberal, antisecular, anti-egalitarian, anti-democratic, and pro-war sentiments appeared within European societies (Garrard, 2006;Zafirovski, 2011). This was the face of the uncivil society, which was often highly organized and self-conscious, and pitted itself against the civil society in a way that most theories about the civil society have generally ignored.…”

“…This seemed to be a design archetype because these structural features were repeated many times. During the neoclassical period, which ran concurrently to the period now referred to as the Enlightenment, Europe experienced an outpouring of industrial, scientific, and philosophical advances that would eventually culminate in much of modern Western culture (Zafirovski, 2011). This, coupled with a shift in aesthetic output from the visual arts, allowed the grand structures of the period to be realized.…”
