8 Peruvian Women Who Made History To celebrate and conclude March being Women’s History Month, we want to acknowledge some of the many incredible women throughout Peru’s history! Although some people might disagree, Peru is often described as a patriarchal society and men receive preferred treatment in almost all aspects of society.

In pre-conquest Peru, Andean women were part of a highly structured society, and held a complementary role to their male counterparts.
