| Sumario: | In the early decades of the 20th century, women residing in the National Territories were movilized in favor of women´s political rights, but it is necessary to contribute to precisely understanding the process and the relevant milestones related to it.
The article is divided into three sections: the first addresses the political-administrative and socioeconomic characteristics of the area under study. The second focuses on the nature of women’s public participation, and the third examines the struggle for women's suffrage.
The period covered begins in 1901, with the founding of Comodoro Rivadavia, and ends in 1927, when the municipality was intervened, the municipal council dissolved, and elections were suspended until 1932. This political closure coincides with women’s demands for political rights, reflecting how women had gradually gained ground in various activities since the city's founding.
The hypothesis is that women organized politically and used all the means and political capital at their disposal to realize their rights. However, they ultimately failed due to the significant instability of municipal life during that period, which led women in mining communities to focus their activities on charitable efforts instead. |
