| description | This work tries to visualize, in this part of Latin America, the suffragism and the feminism,
what their contributions and their points of view were, and the way they were inserted in the
communication flow with the feminists of the continent. It is an interpretation of the political
conditions that facilitated a partial insertion of the Santiaguera women in obtaining the right to
vote. We analyze the division of the parties and their dispute for the control and access to the
power through questionable changing and transient strategies and alliances. In addition, women
were considered – from the hegemonic masculine standpoint – less capable to actually understand
the political moment, which led to petty politics and corruption. This also made women just skim
such manipulations. The women’s vote was a simple chess game for the political parties, which
considered valuable to promote women’s suffrage in order to win the power disputes. However,
the women took advantage of that to achieve their goals and obtain civil and political rights and
more substantial participation in a conscious citizenship, as subjects of the history and, through
their pressures, as social actors and constructors. This investigation also contributes to an analysis
of the women’s situation and thoughts, their social mechanisms and transformation possibilities.
Social and political discrimination were called into question. Between 1902 and 1934, although
the women achieved equal formal rights, and despite the not-so-extreme change in the women’s
condition, a great number had access to politics and education, and, above all, became aware
of the necessity of autonomy in their organizations. |
