Women from the South: history, culture and legacy
Rebels, fighters, thinkers, and transgressors, Argentine women have played roles that shaped the identity of our country through struggle, culture, religion, politics, literature, and science. Spies and libertines like Madame Perichón, holy witches like Mama Antula, forbidden lovers like Camila O’Gorman, the colonial world was filled with gatherings at Mariquita Sánchez's house while Manuela Pedraza beheaded Englishmen in battle. From those who dueled like Martina Chapanay to skilled politicians like Manuelita Rosas, the history of the Río de la Plata gave birth to great feminist thinkers like Alicia Moreau de Justo and Julieta Lanteri, to writers like Alfonsina Storni or Victoria Ocampo, to stateswomen like Evita, to heroines in the Falklands and fighters like the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.
Join us on a journey through the fascinating history of these women where we will visit squares, monuments, cathedrals, and bridges, recounting stories of women with a past of struggle, blood, and glory.
