Abstract

The relationship between church, state and society in Argentina lived a profound transformation in the 1920s and 1930s. A “fighter” Catholicism or integral was  hostile  to  liberal values. Inside it a conscious and explicit combat against the “female” condition of religion was deployed. In the thirties, the opposition between fascism and anti-fascism divided the Catho- lic camp,  although  it  is  true  that  adopt,  in  this  case,  unique  characteristics. This  article  aims to analyze these transformations following  a  set  of  anti-fascist  Catholic  women  in  the  1930s and 1940s as Eugenia Silveyra Oyuela, Adriana Cros, Isabel Gimenez Bustamante, Cornelia Groussac Angelica Fuselli and Mila Forn.
