Between 2004 and 2005, she maintained a blog called Primera tormenta, where she periodically published poems, most of which centered on gender-based violence and femicide. This article focuses on reading her texts as feminist interventions in a dual sense: as a denunciation of the crimes and violence endured by Mexican women, and second, as effort to make visible and affirm alternative ways of being a woman –ways that have been denied, silenced, or persecuted by patriarchal culture. Also, we explore the connections Chávez's poetry establishes with testimonial writing and the field of social memories, particularly in relation to issues that remain pressing in Latin America today. Susana Chávez fue una poeta, psicóloga y militante por los Derechos Humanos de Ciudad Juárez, México. Mantuvo un blog durante los años 2004 y 2005 llamado Primera tormenta, en el que compartía periódicamente sus poemas, la mayoría enfocados en la violencia de género y los femicidios. Este artículo se concentra en una lectura de sus textos como intervenciones feministas en un doble sentido: en tanto denuncia de los crímenes y las violencias sufridas por la comunidad de mujeres mexicanas, y a su vez como visibilización y reivindicación de otras formas de ser mujer, negadas, silenciadas o perseguidas por la cultura patriarcal. Además, se exploran las vinculaciones que entablan los poemas de Chávez con el testimonio y el campo de las memorias sociales, en torno a problemáticas que continúan siendo actuales en América Latina.
