To approach the critical thought of 19th century Latin American women activists regarding three structural oppressions: class, sex and race, the author proposes undertaking an analysis based on the narratological categories of two stories from Peruvian thinkers. The first is the autobiography of Flora Tristán, A Pariah’s Pilgrimage (1837), and the second is the social novel by Clorinda Matto, Birds without a Nest (1889). The reflection focuses on the lives of working women, both indigenous and mestizo, from two different social and historical backgrounds in the global periphery. From the first story, the author presents the narrative actors, the rabonas, members of an urban community. From the second, she takes Marcela and Margarita, inhabitants of a peasant community in the Peruvian highlands. Despite the difference in their backgrounds, these characters are linked by the fact that they are structurally subjected to the three forms of oppression, which together make human life an excruciating experience.

This article proposes to reflect on the inclusion of gender perspective in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru (CVR from its initials in Spanish) and the lessons left for Colombia's Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition in a context where there are multiple conflicting versions, as well as political resources that seek to manipulate, misrepresent and hide these truths that question hegemonical frameworks in Colombia's armed conflict. These reflections were the result of the professional experience, bibliographic review about this topic and the debates raised in the postgraduate formation. It was concluded that the CVR was a pioneering experience, although insufficient to reflect gender inequities in the context of the Peruvian armed conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzes the discursive strategies of the Maternal Mortality Campaign, organized by the feminist movement to demand reproductive self-determination in the peruvian sociopolitic context. The frames of campaign link political opportunities and collective actions and therefore, influence the public debate and political results; meanwhile the discursive dynamic was conditioned by the power relation between the participants in the public sphere. The results reveal that the discourse of maternal mortality allowed the introduction of gender perspective into the public health issues because it was based on the traditional values, but these values limit, at the same time, the construction of women as an autonomous subject. In confrontation with intervention from the conservative sector and the state, the feminist argumentation in the public sphere suffered changes that caused unexpected results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
