¿IMPORTA LA IGUALDAD DE LAS MUJERES EN UNA DEMOCRACIA? ÁNGELA ACUÑA Y EL SUFRAGISMO EN COSTA RICA.

This article analyses the character and thinking of Ángela Acuña Braun, one of the first women who defined herself as a feminist in the country, in the context of the configuration of the Costa Rican democracy during the first part of the XXth century. The thoughts and actions of Acuña are also analyzed in relation to the international suffragist movement and to the ideas that gave birth to this social movement that struggled to guarantee women's equal rights in western democracies.
