PENA, Mariela. Women's Participation in the Peasant Movement of Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Reflections from Life Stories of “Historical” Members. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.2, pp.115-139. ISSN 0486-6525.

This article examines the impact of the participation in the Movimiento Campesino de Santiago del Estero-Via Campesina (Mocase- VC) on women who are its “historical” members. It is informed by gender studies and studies of emotions in social movements, and is based on ethnographic work with peasant families and the life stories of three women. As a result of the creation of new solidarity networks and collective experiences, we suggest substantial changes in women's empowerment and selfperception of gender roles. However, these changes have not been intentionally pursued. Original motivations are more closely linked to the sense of belonging to a collective of exploited peasants.
