TREBISACCE, Catalina. A Specter is Haunting the National Left. The Second-Wave Feminism and Political Struggle in Argentina in the seventies. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2013, n.24, pp.95-119. ISSN 1657-6357.

The history of agreements and disagreements between feminism and other social struggles has several decades of existence. Probably it is part and parcel of feminism itself. Given the growing interest on this subject, intersectionality studies become necessary to recover histories of feminism that pay attention to it. This paper is a contribution to that endeavour. It analyzes the particular experience that embodied the Argentine national left, specifically the Frente de Izquierda Popular, during the process of political radicalization in the context of the emergence of the so-called second wave of feminism. The article highlights the stakes, difficulties, marches and counter-marches that the Frente de Izquierda Popular had to go through in its attempt to embrace the feminist struggle.

Keywords : Feminisms; Argentina; National Left; the Seventies.
