Resumen
MORAN, Daniel y RIVERA, Monserratt. Liberators in times of revolution. The participation of women in the independence of Peru and Latin America. Desde el Sur [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, e0008. ISSN 2076-2674. http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1301-2021-0013.
In the wake of the arrival of bicentennial anniversaries in different countries of Latin America, our research aims to highlight the participation of women in the independence of their respective nations, in order to commemorate those dates while highlighting women's roles as historical subjects. To this end, we take as a starting point that which has been expressed in recent historiographies regarding the actions of the heroines of independence, both in their work as spies for the patriot army, or while risking their lives on the battlefield. Thus, this essay adopts a gender perspective, focusing on important figures such as Manuela Sáenz, María Parado de Bellido, Policarpa Salavarrieta, Francisca Zubiaga and Rosa Campusano. Furthermore, the actions will be addressed of different groups of women whose names we do not know, despite the relevance of their actions in the struggle for independence in Peru and Latin America.
