Sumario:The Peruvian subversive movement Shining Path (PCP-SL, by its Spanish acronym) was one of the movements that theorized most about women and family. For the organization, both women and family had a practical nature, hence the need to incorporate them into the total institution that the PCP-SL embodied. In the organizations that currently profess to be followers of the Gonzalo thought, we can see a similar dedication to replacing the family institution with the party institution, but neither then nor now could their purpose be fully accomplished. From the comparative analysis between the discourse about women and family in the PCP-SL, and the discourse of the organizations that survived it and are aligned with the 4th Stage («of political fight without arms»), we will try to demonstrate the existence of a continuity in terms of discourse and memory in the building of the family construct. In order to do so, we will analyze direct testimonies by members of organizations that currently support the Gonzalo thought, and the party literature on women and family.
