In this book the writers discuss the role of gender in the independence struggles of South America. They analyze the wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship that accompanied the independence struggles and investigate the neglected role of gender in that discussion. Looking at published and unublished writings of women from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, the book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. Among the writers that are being examined are Simón Bolivar, Andrés Bello, Esteban Echeverria, Josefa Acevedo, Mercedes Marin, Delfina Benigna da Cunha, Ana de Barandas and Juana Manso. The book shows the complex role of women in shaping and challenging the vexed ideologies of independence.
