Intellectual women in transit in Latin America in the 19th and 20th centuries: Maria Concepcion Gimeno Flaquer and Margaret Randall

Abstract

Trough the trajectories of Maria Concepcion Gimeno Flaquer and Margaret Randall we intend to think about the circulation of intellectual women in a transnational perspective. For this we used as historical source magazines, understood as important productions where silent voices could circulate in the public space, and was an important space to mantein the contact between people. We intent to find traces that, since the XIX century, the exchanges between the Global North and South were constants, providing shared experiences. In this relation, women activities were essencials. The both intellectuals lived in diferent contexts, in the XIX and XX century, and we justify this frame because with this large scale we can prove that the actions of intellectual women counted with an important women participation. They created, while sharing the intellectual space, some networks, relationships, sociabilities, etc. All of this can be analise toghether, and we can see the historical gender inequality, as we can see the historiographic silence of their productions.
