The FCH at UNLPam is one of the first universities in the country to give signs of commitment regarding gender. Among these is the Interdisciplinary Institute of Women Studies, created in 1993. In 2008, UNLPam legislates for the use of non-sexist language when applied in the degrees granted. In 2010, in the view of the changes on the Teaching Studies curricula, an Integral Sexual Education Seminar was incorporated; and nowadays, Extracurricular and public lectures are given in the form of Cátedra Libre named Educación Sexual Integral y Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos. It emerges along with the local forum for the rights to legal, safe and free abortion. The creation of this Chair reflects the interest in studying the complexities of the bodies, sexuality and gender in education, particularly at schools, as a socializing space in different levels. University functions are not only formative, but also being a central part in formulating public policies in education. This paper attempts to account for the articulation between the activism processes that have been taking place in the city and the accessibility found at the university decision- spaces.

This paper is an attempt to look into the visibility of women and their link with the Peronista government during its first two administrations (1946-1952 and 1952-1955). We focus our analysis on the relationship many women established with Eva Perón during their participation in the Peronista political organization. Following the methodology of oral history, we collected data via personal interviews to a Peronista woman related to the Eva Perón Foundation. Through her reports we have been able to visualize social practices that helped us understand the function of this institution beyond the scope of discourse. In this sense, we were able to reconstruct a Peronista woman's working and political path, her social representations regarding the figure of Eva Peron and the changes that signaled a crucial period in women's history: the implementation of the feminine vote.
