Abstract

The article addresses the political experiences of the women of the Women's Research Center at the Institute of Social and Family Action CIM-IASyF, in the province of Mendoza, from 1968 to 1973. In a context of radicalization of the working class, the Women from this organization emerge from Christian liberationist militancy to debate the oppression of women and the sexist social order; through reading, self-awareness workshops, and joint writing.

Therefore, the work seeks to contribute to the knowledge and study of the genealogies of feminisms in the early 70s, based on the use and work with oral sources; and, secondly, from a social history approach, revive the potential of working with political experiences in recent history. The sources that were used in this research come from interviews and material written by the organization, with which we will present an analysis of the characteristics of the organization, the experience of Norma Zamboni and Anabella Yáñez through their writing; We will also indicate what the main routes, debates and readings were.
