description: Now that a decade has passed since the Chamorro government introduced its neoliberal program, Metoyer (political science, California State U., San Marcos) evaluates women's social and economic gains and losses during the Sandinista regime, and the impact and implications for development policy that the post-socialist structural adjustment programs have had on the women's movement. She concludes that due to the entrenched ideology of domesticity, female workforce participation is still problematic, though groups such as the National Women's Coalition are emerging as leaders in Nicaragua's social movement.
