We are in the 21st century, various important events have occurred throughout our history, and those involving women are no exception. For many years, various demonstrations were held around women's rights, and for good, they have borne fruit. The vision of them compared to previous centuries has changed significantly and we are aware of it. However, should we settle for it?  In this blog, we review some episodes of our history and we have focused on women as protagonists with the changes in vision that helped to put the struggle to understand their roles in society into context. Now, it is necessary to look at the present (and perhaps the future) about what we lack. In principle, labor gaps and violence have been obstacles to the (still) appreciation of women today, so despite all the progress made, there is still more to be done. We cannot be conformists and believe that everything is solved.  The objectives are being gradually fulfilled, but too slowly. The gates of progress are

  THE SUFFRAGETTES AND THEIR STRUGGLE FOR THE VOTE OF WOMEN IN THE 20th CENTURY In the 20th century, the agenda will expand and will have suffrage as its central axis, since women aspired to obtain full citizenship to stop being considered minors and be able to exercise their civil, political, and social rights. Thus, strategies were organized and developed to get out of political marginalization in a Latin American and global context in which women's struggle for the vote was taking place. María Jesús Alvarado (Ica, 1878) was the first to put the debate on women's suffrage in the country on the agenda in her conference "El feminismo", given at the Geographical Society in 1911. For her part, Zoila Aurora Cáceres (Lima, 1872) founded the Peruvian Feminism Association, which proposed a project to reform the Constitution in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and tried to make the population aware of women's political rights through the press. In 1952, the Association of Tr

 

  The colonization of the American territories by the spaniards has been a fundamental part of universal history. Placing ourselves in the context of our country, this process brought with it various political and cultural changes and this was reflected not only in bureaucratic and territorial issues, but also in the social pyramid and the roles that each individual had to fulfill in this new society. During this new period, the role of women goes into the background and gender inequality is perceived: they could not intervene in important matters and were mainly "used" for household activities. However, this inequality was also defined by the origin. With respect to Spanish and Creole women, beyond domestic chores, they also dedicated themselves to religious tasks, because for society "they were inconsistent and not very quiet." From the age of 15 and with the consent of the father, they had to look for a husband and devote themselves fully to raising children, sew

Women in the Peruvian Viceroyalty: Before viceroyalty- Information collected by Patricia Herrero Sánchez   Women found ways to challenge and subvert the patriarchy of Spanish colonial society. The gateras, the Native market women of Quito in Peru, exploited the legal system to earn greater financial security for their people. Zuni potters were at the forefront of the revival of traditional Native practices during the Pueblo Revolt. Women could use the marriage traditions of the dowry and arras to escape unhappy marriages. And wealthy Spanish women expertly wielded their privilege to draw attention to the hypocrisy of traditional gender roles or survive encounters with the dreaded Holy Office of the Inquisition. Through the stages of the conquest of Peru, the relations of the conquerors with women, ranged from assault rape to acceptance as a couple. That is why it has been said that such was the amorality that the first conquerors led to the conquest of Peru and that they lost the idea
