Abstract

The process of transforming gender roles has met several breaking points through history, especially since the intense discussion of the rights of individuals that emerged during the Enlightenment and then, even more forcefully, the French Revolution. The vindication of women’s rights –first by imagining them and then mobilizing against women’s subordinate condition in society– has gradually taken shape and gathered strength since Olympe de Gouges and Mary Wollstonecraft took up their pens. This has been a long history of interpellation and action, of which much has been written, though never too much, nor enough; one that has witnessed the coming-and-going of diverse feminist movements that have articulated distinct demands in accordance with their times; not only political and economic in nature, but also social or cultural.
