Mentalidad social y niñez abandonada. La Paz, 1900-1948 es un estudio sobre los niños abandonados, la evolución del concepto de niño, el proceso de construcción de la sensibilidad social y pública en torno a ellos y la creación de instituciones que los salvaguarden. Esta temática no sólo resulta relevante en sí misma, sino también queda revalorizada por las problemáticas colaterales que conlleva y que aluden a un conjunto de aspectos que permiten ver el funcionamiento de una sociedad. De ahí que el libro no se limite únicamente a estudiar la trayectoria de instituciones y asociaciones ligadas a los menores como la Sociedad Católica de San José (1878), el Hospicio de San José, la Sociedad Protectora de la Infancia (1909) —el Asilo u Hogar Villegas—, el Patronato Nacional de Huérfanos de Guerra y el Patronato Nacional del Menor. Tampoco se centra en exclusiva en los sectores sociales/étnicos más afectados como serían los niños de origen blanco y mestizo. Además de ofrecer el entramado asociativo e institucional mencionado y de caracterizar el tipo de niño sujeto de la beneficencia, para responder a la pregunta central acerca de "cómo las casas de acogida de huérfanos que existían en La Paz recogieron la nueva concepción del menor en general y del abandonado en especial" (p. 303), Laura Escobari de Querejazu ha ampliado su margen de acción historiográfica. Consecuencia de ello es un texto complejo que hace girar en torno al niño abandonado y su tutela un cuantioso número de problemas. Marta Irurozqui

From the 1940s to the 1970s, millions of women were exposed prenatally to the synthetic estrogen DES, a "wonder drug" intended to prevent miscarriages. However, DES actually had damaging consequences for the women born from DES mothers. The "DES daughters" as they are known, were found to have a rare form of vaginal cancer or were infertile. They were also at risk for miscarriages, stillbirths, and ectopic pregnancies. In DES Daughters, Susan Bell recounts the experiences of this generation of "victims." In moving, heartfelt narratives, she presents the voices of those women who developed cancer, those who were cancer-free but have concerns about becoming pregnant, and those who suffered other medical and/or reproductive difficulties. Bell examines the hierarchy of knowledge and power of scientists, doctors, and daughters, tracing the emergence of a feminist health movement. The "embodied knowledge" of these DES daughters prompted them to become advocates and form a social movement that challenged reproductive medical knowledge specifically, but also the politics of women's health in general. Bell's important book chronicles the history and future of these grassroots activists born out of illness, suffering, and uncertainty.
