Descripción
Sumario:The article seeks to the problematic interaction of political modernization and gender relations in the context of the Cold War, to explain the sociohistorical conditions that enabled the recognition of the political women ´s rights in Paraguay. It is proposed, specifically, to study the forms assumed by the conquest of the citizenship of a group of women from Asunción, organized in the Paraguayan League for the Rights of Women (1951-1962). It assumes that this organization, unlike other experiences that preceded it, was part of an international movement for the demand of the citizen that, in a local context of exclusionary modernization promoted by the stronist order, could weave an alliance with local and international actors that proclaimed an anticommunist order.
