The late 1960s- when dictatorship in Brazil still restricted and shaped activism, while feminism in the North was experiencing a revival, and new forms of global capital were on the roam- was one of these latter times.2 In 1969, the radical women's health movement had burst onto the scene in Boston, with the publication of Our Bodies, Our Selves, a health manual that sought to empower women by providing accessible information about their bodies.3 The movement affirmed the power of knowledge about the body and challenged its monopoly by medical "experts."

It is often claimed that the involvement of global networks in international lawmaking improves the democratic quality of political arrangements because it gives people more control over the ways their lives will be governed-something that nondemocratic governments refuse to provide and democratic governments are increasingly unable to provide.4 In attempting to explain the motivation for global network activity, international relations scholars have looked at the domestic opportunity structure and its impact on transnational activism, or, in other words, the local institutional conditions under which network members operate and the network's points of access to the domestic political system.
