| Sumario: | Women have ventured into ways of writing about the past that explore areas tangential to the majority of writings that especially address economic and political change. Their forms of writing are seen as marginal, impure, and apparently trivial. However, they offer ways to see the past that link the personal with the political. In this work, I explore family memories from three generations of women from two middle class quiteño families. Being myself part of one of these families, I offer not only an analysis, but also a co-construction of family stories in dialogue with women of different generations. Through engagement with certain objects stored or produced by family members, I analyze the work of remembrance in the family stories narrated and revived by these women with an approach that seeks above all to account for negotiations with notions of femininity and with the ideology of pride in work.
