Feminism and gender configurations in the guerrilla: comparative perspectives in the Southern Cone, 1968-1985

This work discusses the links between second-wave feminism and the gender configurations in urban guerrilla organizations during the so-called Military Dictatorship governments between 1964 and 1984, comparatively as between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, using memories and statements of the militants and documents of the armed left-wing organizations. Although feminism was not considered priority by these organizations at the time, the number of militant women was much larger than previously. The ways the organizations handled the presence of women, and the gender discourses used are also compared.
