description For centuries, lots of Latin American women contributed to build their own culture creating outstanding literary, artistic and scientific works. There were others, as important and essential as those, who fought frantically for the independence from the Spanish domination. For centuries, these women appeared only as the male counterpart, no life or brain of their own. It was necessary to wait until the 20th century to see these women being vindicated. This paper tries to fill that incomprehensible gap and give some of them their right place in the Latin-American history. The analysis of historical and contemporary texts helps to throw some light to disperse the mist these women were immersed in until some man, at some moment, decided to consider them worth mentioning. During the last half of the 20th century, revisionist authors started to rewrite a history where forgotten women were already included as protagonists of a cultural development that lasts even today. Nevertheless, there is still a long way ahead towards complete acceptance and vindication. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, tell us about women discrimination at work and education in an unfortunately male-dominated society. They tell us about poverty and social exclusion. The same exclusion that suffered those women portrayed in the paper, and that will suffer lots of women in years to come. This paper has been written to remember them, to stop oblivion, to avoid their achievements from being buried by a limiting and authoritarian society, still in many aspects, cruel and male-centered.
