Contributors to the columns, hiding behind the pseudonym "Anne Eliot," were a group of young, college-educated women, familiar with the Women's Lib movement in the United States, who adopted the groundbreaking new Ms. Magazine as their source of inspiration, thus cultivating transnational practices and identifications. Based on a close reading of the twenty-nine columns, along with oral histories and correspondence with women who took part in this tiny US American feminist circle, the article examines WLAY as a transnational textual and cognitive space for gender work that generated a sort of hybrid, unique guide and manual for US feminism as it applied to life in Costa Rica. WLAY is thus a compelling example of the way ideas regarding gender liberation were modified over time and space in the process of immigration and expatriatism and were problematized in their new context. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies is the property of University of Nebraska Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
