| description | This paper aims to analyze the discourses of the dominant sectors and the municipal policies that were established in Bolivia in the 1930s and 1940s, and that sought to exclude from the public space the working women of the urban popular sectors with hygienist justifications. These discriminatory discourses and policies against women workers were at the origin of their organization in anarchist women’s unions, which were very active and mobilized in the public sphere during the 1930s and 1940s, a period of political effervescence in which the working-class sectors became crucial political actors, until the outbreak of the revolution in 1952. Through these discourses and municipal policies, the dominant sectors, whose authority was questioned after the Chaco War (1932-1935), tried to contain the social ascent of the subaltern sectors that were increasingly mobilized in the public sphere, including urban working-class women. |
