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. Traditionally in Peru, men and women have occupied very different labor roles but the lines are slowly being blurred as more women gain access to training and formal education.

Within a few short years, the Spanish had conquered the Incan Empire, rearranging the life of an entire nation. While the Spanish conquest touched every Incan person, women were profoundly affected by this shift in power. In pre-conquest Peru, Andean women were part of a highly structured society, and held a complementary role to their male counterparts. However, after the Spanish conquest, women had to navigate through an entirely different society. (...) Incan society was meticulously structured, and everyone had a distinct social niche. Though Andean society was a hierarchical patriarchy, it was not as extreme as the Spanish patriarchy, and women occupied a complimentary, rather than subordinate role to men. At the top of the feminine hierarchy was the Quoya, or queen. As the Inca, or king’s primary wife, she bore the titl...
