Description	Democratization is a highly gendered process. The way in which the ideal of motherhood as part of Latin American's heritage figures in these processes of modernization and democratization, of exclusion and inclusion of women into politics, results in similar patterns among these countries. A key shift occurred in Mexico's history at the turn of the 21st century. Salinas de Gortari (1988–1994) won the elections with just a small majority of votes. The democratic tendencies emerging in this period culminated in 2000 in the electoral victory of President Vicente Fox of the Partido Accion Nacional The representation of women as moral superiors surfaces during the struggle for suffrage in Mexico. The extent to which this conservative trend is global also requires additional investigation, since the imagery of motherhood as a gender marker of national or regional identity is also connected to the specific emergence of neo-liberal discourse.
