Abstract
SERRANO GALVIS, Ana. Women as Political Subjects during the Independence of the New Granada. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.40, pp.101-119. ISSN 0122-5197. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.mys20-40.mspi.
This article studies the political interaction of women with their context and their constructions as political subjects - in all their complexity - beyond their vocal opposition or support to a party during the Independence of the New Granada period, particularly in santafe, from 1810 to 1820. First of all, we tackle the reciprocal relationship of rights and duties held with the government as women, which implied gender-differentiated functions that were accepted (or not), helping to maintain the established order (or challenging it). second, we deal with the reciprocal relationship of rights and duties held with the government, not only as women, but as vassals, citizens, or, the mere generic concept of "people under the government". This concept makes it possible to overcome the resistance of the actors of the time to concede a political status to them. Lastly, we analyze their construction as political supporters and detractors.
