Introduction Chapter 1. Anarchist Feminism in Nineteenth-Century Notes 203 Notes Introduction 1. The results were published in Young (et al.) (1984). 2. Research for these various projects was undertaken in South Yemen, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Cuba, Russia, Azerbaijan, Hungary and Iraq. The resulting publications include: The Ethiopian Revolution (Halliday and Molyneux, 1982); State Policies and the Position of Women in the PDRY (Molyneux, 1982); ‘Women’s Emancipation under Socialism: A Model for the Third World?’, World Development (Molyneux, 1980); ‘Legal Reform and Socialist Revolution in Democratic Yemen’, International Journal of the Sociology of Law (Molyneux, 1986a); ‘ “The Woman Question” in the Age of Perestroika’, New Left Review, no 183 (Molyneux, 1990); ‘The Woman Question in the Age of Communism’s Collapse’, in Mary Evans (1994); and ‘Women’s Rights and Political Contingency’ (1995). 3. La Voz de la Mujer (1997). 4. These include De Beauvoir (1953), Mitchell (1965), Rowbotham (1972). Chapter 1. Anarchist Feminism in Nineteenth-Century Argentina 1. The research on La Voz was carried out in the archives of the Institute of Social History, Amsterdam. 2. See Abad de Santillán (1930), Nettlau (1971) and Oved (1978). 3. O Jornal das Senhoras, for example, appeared in Brazil in 1852 and was dedicated to the ‘social betterment and the moral emancipation of women’ (Hahner, 1978). 4. Ferns (1960). 5. Bourdé (1974). 6. On the eve of World War I, 30 per cent of the Argentine population were immigrants in contrast to 14 per cent of the US population in 1910 (Solberg, 1970). 7. Ibid. 8. Anarchist ideas were not all imported. There were indigenous anarchist currents in Argentina and forms of spontaneous popular resistance – but these were unable to achieve a stable organisational expression. Gauchesque culture became a central theme for anarchist playwrights and poets from the 1890s onwards (see Franco, 1973 and Yunque, 1941). 9. Rock (1975). 10. Solberg (1970). 11. Marotta (1960). 12. Bourdé (1974). 13. Teresa Mañe, the Spanish teacher and activist, often wrote under the name of Soledad Gustavo. She was born in 1866 and was married to another anarchist, Juan Montseny. 14. Solberg (1970). 203 204 Women’s Movements in International Perspective 15. Unfortunately, there are too few listings to form an accurate picture. Oved (1978) argues that in Argentina, as elsewhere, anarchist support was primarily from unskilled and semi-skilled workers. 16. Segundo censo (1898). 17. Marotta (1960). 18. Segundo censo (1898). 19. All translations by author. 20. Mentioned in the literary journal Caras y Caretas, 1901. According to Abad de Santillán (1930), Creaghe was ‘much loved’ by the Argentine anarchist movement. Before leaving Britain, it seems, he had been active in the workers’ movement in Sheffield and had brought out a newspaper called the Sheffield Anarchist. 21. This ambivalence in the movement’s attitude toward feminism and women anarchists’ successes and failures is discussed in the context of Spain up until the Civil War by Kaplan (1971) and Alvarez Junco (1976). 22. Rowbotham (1972). 23. From the 1900s onwards, the statutes of some of the workers’ groups in which anarchism was strong contained demands for equal pay for women and for the abolition of marriage. The latter demand appeared in the anarchists’ proposals for the statutes of the Federación Obrera Argentina, Argentina’s first workers’ federation, but was dropped from the final list of demands, probably on account of socialist opposition (Marotta, 1960). 24. Marotta (1960). 25. According to Cavas y Caretas, María Calvía also founded a group called ‘Los proletarios’. 26. Quesada (1979) reports that one of the editors turned up in Rosario between 1900 and 1903. He writes that the visitors to the newly built Casa del Pueblo included Pietro Gori, and many others used to gather there: ‘the Marchisio woman, who together with Virginia Bolten founded “La Voz de la Mujer”, the latter publication called the Rosarian (Louise) Michel due to the ardour of its oratory’. (From other sources it would appear more likely that it was Bolten, not La Voz, who was dubbed ‘the Rosarian Michel’.) 27. No. 6 is unavailable. The first four issues measured 26 cm by 36 cm, whereas the remaining ones were slightly larger and varied in size, suggesting the use of different presses. 28. Some of these poems were written to be read at meetings. No. 8 of La Voz carried a 207-line poem by ‘Pepita Gherra’ that was, according to the editors, to be read at the Spanish Workers’ Union meeting. 29. See Alvarez Junco (1976) for a discussion of the family, free love and feminism in Spanish anarchism. 30. The Santa Cecilia Colony in Brazil is the best known of these. El Oprimido was at the centre of a debate on this question, having apparently sponsored the publication of the pamphlet An Episode of Love in the Socialist Colony ‘Cecilia’, which advocated multiple relationships, abolition of the family and communal care of children. Ruvira (1971) says that these Argentine anarchists did have their free unions and that their children appear in the civil register with names such as ‘Anarquía’ (Anarchy), ‘Acracia’ (Free spirit (fig.)) and even ‘Libre Productor’ (Free Producer). Notes 205 31. Rock (1975). 32. In 1900 Cecilia Grierson founded the National Women’s Council and five years later a feminist centre was set up in which the core members of the Argentine suffragist groups came together. 33. Little (1978). 34. Two English writers of the period, of Church of England persuasion, lamented that by 1891, 37 per cent of all marriages in Buenos Aires were civil ceremonies, following the legalisation of secular marriage in 1887 (Mulhall and Mulhall, 1892). Chapter 2. Women’s Interests, the State and Revolution in Nicaragua 1. Author’s interview (1982). Nora Astorga was Deputy Foreign Minister at the time. 2. The Association of Women Confronting the National Problem was founded in 1977 to counter Somoza’s excesses and promote gender equality. Its general secretary was Lea Guido, who later became Minister of Health. See AMNLAE (1981) for an account of AMPRONAC’s history and its list of aims; and Randall (1982). 3. For firsthand accounts of these activities see Randall (1982), Deighton et al. (1983), and Ramírez-Horton (1982). 4. The women writers have been more interested in this question. See especially Maier (1980). 5. Corraggio, (1983). Corragio’s paper was also published in Slater, (1985). 6. Randall (1978, 1982). 7. This is usually translated as ‘poor neighbourhoods’. 8. This organisation is involved in various anti-imperialist and pro-peace campaigns and gives support to the bereaved. 9. For examples of women’s attitudes. See Hansson and Liden (1983). 10. Quoted in MacKinnon (1982). For critical discussions, from differing perspectives, of the record of socialist states, see Markus (1976) and Stacey (1983). 11. This discussion necessarily leaves out the specific situation of women in Nicaragua’s ethnic minorities. The Miskito Indian communities in particular require separate consideration because they have, and have had historically, a very different relationship to central government than that which is described here. 12. There are differing definitions of patriarchy, but most of them agree that patriarchy describes a power relation existing between the sexes, exercised by men over women and institutionalised within various social relations and practices, including law, family and education. I return to the issue of patriarchy in Chapter 5. 13. There is a third usage of the term ‘interest’, found in Marxism, which explains collective action in terms of some intrinsic property of the actors and/or the relations within which they are inscribed. Thus, class struggle is ultimately explained as an effect of the relations of production. This conception has been shown to rest on essentialist assumptions and provides an inadequate 206 Women’s Movements in International Perspective account of social action. For a critique of this notion, see Benton (1982) and Hindess (1982). 14. Zillah Eisenstein, editor of Capitalist Patriarchy and the Case for Socialist Feminism (1978), developed a sophisticated version of the argument that women constitute a ‘sexual class’ and that for women, gender issues are primary. See Eisenstein (1983). 15. It is precisely around these issues, which also have an ethical significance, that the theoretical and political debate must focus. The list of strategic gender interests noted here is not exhaustive or definitive, but is merely exemplary. 16. See, for example, Kaplan (1982) and Hufton (1971). 17. Borge’s speech was delivered on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of AMNLAE. It was published in Barricada on 4 October 1982 and is available in translation from Pathfinder Press (1982). 18. Ibid. 19. Approximately 20 per cent of economically active women were in agriculture, with similar percentages for personal services and marketing activities. Women accounted for only 15.25 per cent of the formal sector urban workforce. See Deighton et al. (1983). 20. Data are from the Oficina de Mujer, the office which coordinated the activities of AMNLAE with the FSLN. 21. Substantial numbers of women were in favour of conscription and bitterly resented the Council of State’s decision in 1983 to exempt women. AMNLAE fought a popular campaign to revoke the decision, which resulted in women having the right to volunteer. I discuss this in Molyneux (1985b). 22. This viewpoint has to be compared and contrasted with many nationalist movements that call for the sacrifice of women’s interests (and those of other oppressed groups) in the interests of the nation. 23. In some of the regions affected by the war (Matagalpa, Jinotega), where conscription was high, women had come to represent as much as 40 per cent of the workforce by February 1984 (interview with Magda Enríquez, a member of AMNLAE’s national directorate, March 1984). 24.

Se trata de la biografía política e intelectual de Virginia Bolten, una de las anarquistas más reconocidas en la historia del movimiento obrero de Argentina y Uruguay. Tanto en la memoria militante como en el relato historiográfico, la vida de Bolten surge como un conjunto de imágenes poderosas e insistentes. La audaz que arengó a las masas en 1890. La feminista redomada que concibió el periódico La Voz de la Mujer. La joven llamativa que descubrió Bialet Massé en su infor- me de 1904. La militante mujer detenida y deportada. Sobre esas imágenes sueltas trabajaron los autores de este artículo, con el objetivo de revisarlas y establecer puntos de referencia para dar cuenta de los tramos más significa- tivos de la actuación de Bolten en la primera parte de su vida. Agustina Prieto es investigadora del Consejo de Investigaciones de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario y docente de la Facultad de Ciencia Política de la misma universidad. Laura Fernández Cordero es investigadora asistente del CONICET, docente de la Universidad de Buenos Aires y forma parte del área académica del CeDInCI. Pascual Muñoz es Licenciado en Sociología (Universidad de la República, Uruguay) e investigador independiente del anarquismo en la región uruguaya.

  • Liña Do Tempo
    Documento distribuído por Álbum de mulleres Liña do tempo http://culturagalega.org/album/linhadotempo.php 11ª versión (13/02/2017) Comisión de Igualdade Pazo de Raxoi, 2º andar. 15705 Santiago de Compostela (Galicia) Tfno.: 981957202 / Fax: 981957205 / [email protected] GALICIA MEDIEVO - No mundo medieval, as posibilidades que se ofrecen ás mulleres de escoller o marco en que han de desenvolver o seu proxecto de vida persoal son fundamentalmente tres: matrimonio, convento ou marxinalidade. - O matrimonio é a base das relacións de parentesco e a clave das relacións sociais. Os ritos do matrimonio son instituídos para asegurar un sistema ordenado de repartimento de mulleres entre os homes e para socializar a procreación. Designando quen son os pais engádese outra filiación á única e evidente filiación materna. Distinguindo as unións lícitas das demais, as crianzas nacidas delas obteñen o estatuto de herdeiras. - Século IV: Exeria percorre Occidente, á par de recoller datos e escribir libros de viaxes. - Ata o século X danse casos de comunidades monásticas mixtas rexidas por abade ou abadesa. - Entre os séculos IX e X destacan as actividades de catro mulleres da nobreza galega (Ilduara Eriz, Paterna, Guntroda e Aragonta), que fan delas as principais e máis cualificadas aristócratas galegas destes séculos. - Entre os séculos IX e XII chégase á alianza matrimonial en igualdade de condicións, posto que o sistema de herdanza non distingue entre homes e mulleres; o matrimonio funciona máis como instrumento asociativo capaz de crear relacións amplas entre grupos familiares coexistentes que como medio que permite relacións de control ou protección de carácter vertical. - Século X: Desde mediados de século, as mulleres non poden testificar nos xuízos e nos documentos déixase de facer referencia a elas.

  • La Voz De La Mujer: Um Periódico De Mulheres Para Mulheres (Argentina- 1896-1897). I. Palavras Iniciais
    La voz de la mujer: um periódico de mulheres para mulheres (Argentina- 1896-1897). INGRID SOUZA LADEIRA DE SOUZA.* I. Palavras Iniciais... A presente comunicação é parte integrante da dissertação de mestrado que está sendo desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (PPGH-UNIRIO). Tem como proposta principal problematizar o periódico La voz de la mujer, que circulou em Buenos Aires, capital da República Argentina, entre 1896 e 1897. A pesquisa como um todo procura dar visibilidade ao periódico há muito esquecido e pouco explorado, colocando em foco as redatoras do jornal, as formas de organização das mulheres militantes, as ideias que defenderam, as lutas políticas que empreenderam e as mobilizações socioculturais que implementaram. Na problematização do periódico, buscamos analisar a situação social da mulher e as questões que mais sensibilizavam as redatoras. Partindo do pressuposto que a organização de movimentos ligados às questões de gênero e sexualidade também fazem parte da história das sociedades, essa pesquisa, em sua globalidade, inscreve-se no campo da história social porque, entre outros, procura dar conta de um determinado grupo social, no caso, as mulheres anarquistas militantes na Argentina. No campo da história social, a pesquisa contempla os estudos sobre História das Mulheres, uma vez que se propõe a analisar a condição feminina e a luta das mulheres libertárias argentinas em fins do século XIX. Sendo assim, o periódico La voz de la mujer torna-se objeto e fonte privilegiada da pesquisa, uma vez que se pretende traçar o seu perfil, bem como captar a subjetividade dessas mulheres, as quais ainda não foram totalmente identificadas, embora tenhamos conhecimento de alguns dos seus pseudônimos.

  • The Challenges of Women's Participation In
    International IDEA, 2002, Women in Parliament, Stockholm (http://www.idea.int). This is an English translation of Elisa María Carrio, “Los retos de la participacíon de las mujeres en el Parlamento. Una nueva Mirada al caso argentine,” in International IDEA Mujeres en el Parlamento. Más allá de los números, Stockholm, Sweden, 2002. (This translation may vary slightly from the original text. If there are discrepancies in the meaning, the original Spanish version is the definitive text). CASE STUDY The Challenges of Women’s Participation in the Legislature: A New Look at Argentina ELISA MARÍA CARRIO In Argentina, mass-based political parties included a degree of the participation of women going back to their early days, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, but it was only in the 1980s that we saw the massive emergence of women in party politics. This led to changes in attitude in the search for points of agreement and common objectives. Many women understood that the struggle against women’s oppression should not be subordinated to other struggles, as it was actually compatible with them, and should be waged simultaneously. It was an historic opportunity, as Argentina was emerging from a lengthy dictatorship in which women had the precedent of the mobilizations of the grandmothers and mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in their white scarves. While women in Argentina have had the right to “vote and be elected” since 1947, women’s systematic exclusion from the real spheres of public power posed one of the most crucial challenges to, and criticisms of, Argentina’s democracy.

  • Juana Rouco Buela
    Reproducido en www.relats.org JUANA ROUCO BUELA: SUS LUCHAS SOCIALES Y DE MUJERES Mabel Belucci Publicado en la web Rio Negro, 2001 Con su osado estilo, quebrando formas y acelerando tiempos históricos, Juana Rouco Buela fue en el Río de la Plata una de las primeras luchadoras femeninas de cuño anarquista. Su historia de vida sumó innumerables páginas como acontecimientos significativos, que resultaría dificultoso sintetizar en unas pocas líneas. Militante activa en numerosas huelgas obreras y en manifestaciones de repudio contra la represión policial y la persecución política, fogosa oradora con una sólida cultura autoletrada, editora de periódicos, ensayista crítica y reflexiva sobre la explotación de la clase obrera y, básicamente, sobre el desempeño laboral y sindical de las mujeres. Su trayectoria atraviesa gran parte del siglo XX. Representa la figura principal del anarquismo femenino tanto en Buenos Aires como en Montevideo, desde su arribo a la Argentina hasta su muerte, en 1968, a los 80 años. Con el comienzo del siglo, ingresan miles de inmigrantes de ultramar de diversas nacionalidades a nuestro país, entre ellos, se encuentra una jovenzuela madrileña acompañada por su hermano mayor. Al poco tiempo, ingresa al movimiento libertario al intervenir en el célebre mitin del Primero de Mayo, de 1904, convocado por la FORA y el Partido Socialista. Manifestantes y oradores son violentamente reprimidos. Días más tarde, asiste al Congreso de la FORA, representando a los obreros de la Refinería Argentina del Azúcar, en Rosario, que protagonizan una extensa huelga que desembocará, más tarde, en una huelga general. En 1907, junto con Virginia Bolten, María Collazo y Teresa Caporaletti, organizan el Centro Femenino Anarquista, un espacio de divulgación del ideario entre las obreras y mujeres de pueblo.

  • Anarquismo E Identidades De Género En El Uruguay Del Novecientos
    Claves. Revista de Historia, Vol. 3, Nº 5 Montevideo, julio - diciembre 2017 (pp. 213 - 248) ISSN 2393-6584 Anarquismo e identidades de género en el Uruguay del Novecientos Anarchism and gender identities in Uruguay of 900s Inés Cuadro Cawen Universidad de la República, Uruguay Recibido: 08/10/2017 Aceptado: 09/11/2017 Resumen: Este artículo analiza la construcción de identidades de género en el anarquismo rioplatense en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Esto supondrá identificar cómo esta ideología participó en el proceso de emancipación femenina y apreciar las contradicciones, en las representaciones y en los discursos, en torno a los roles que debían desempeñar varones y mujeres en las sociedad que pretendían construir y dentro del propio movimiento. También nos interesa reconstruir el camino seguido por las posiciones de carácter más “feminista” al interior de esta ideología “libertaria”, es decir, analizar cómo el feminismo atravesó al anarquismo y se distanció de éste al fin del período de estudio. Palabras claves: anarquismo, novecientos, mujeres, género, Río de la Plata. Abstract: This article analyzes the construction of gender identities in Rio de de la Plata anarchism in the first decades of the 20th century. This will mean identifying how this ideology participated in female emancipation process, and appreciate contradictions existing in representations and discourses around the roles that men and women should play in the society they intended to build and within the movement itself. We are also interested in reconstructing the path followed by the more “feminist” positions within this “libertarian” ideology, that is, analyzing how feminism went through anarchism and distanced itself from it at the end of the studied period.
