The paper is a rapporteur's report from the workshop 'Feminist Theory, State Policy, and Rural Women in Latin America' sponsored by the Helen Kellogg Institute of the University of Notre Dame in February 1985. The report summarizes the presentations and issues raised under five broad themes and concludes with a discussion of possible future research topics. The workshop major themes were: (1) the implications for rural women of the Latin American agrarian reform experiences; (2) evaluating success and failure of women's subsistence agriculture projects; (3) integrating micro and macro variables of rural women's migration patterns; (4) state rural development models and policy and (5) new advances in feminist theory, particularly factors contributing to feminist consciousness in Latin American women.
