This article intends to identify and describe the discourse on gender used by the elite to define women, and how it was reformulated by them between 1830 and 1850 before the judicial courts of the provinces of Cauca. To this end, the legislation on tobacco and spirits, the penal code of 1837, and criminal trials followed against women defrauding to stagnant income were analyzed for the established context. The analysis of the different legal discourses and their judicial practices were made based on the gender positions of Joan W. Scott, the theoretical approaches of William Roseberry, James Scott, and James Sanders; With these perspectives, the sources in question were qualitatively analyzed. From there it was discovered that, although the women of the popular sectors of the Cauca provinces, in practice did not embrace the predominant gender ideal, discursively if they appealed to him to exonerate them- selves of guilt or mitigate their crimes before the courts.
