Sumario:The Argentine human rights movement had a high female participation: mothers, sisters, aunts, and wives of the disappeared individuals joined their organizations early on. The emblem of these groups are Madres y Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, which also includes sisters, wives, and daughters—militant agencies that are less visible despite playing a significant role in the search. Due to their ability to articulate and legitimize the denunciation of the crimes committed by state terrorism in the public space, the literature has tended to focus on the prominence of the mothers. Through interviews and testimonies, we analyze the memories of women who joined the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, sisters, and wives of the disappeared detainees from La Plata, Berisso, and Ensenada (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina). In the case of the former, the aim is to reflect on the less audible memories of these militant agencies. In the case of the wives and sisters, the goal is to account for those experiences that have been less addressed within the human rights movement.
