New historiographical perspectives on women, gender and antifascismos in Argentina

Abstract

Scholarly studies on women and gender in relation to antifascism, carried out in different countries, have revealed a great variety of processes throughout the world. In the Argentine case, research has shown that antifascism, characterized by a great diversity of forms of expressions, mobilized vast social sectors in different ways and historical periods. With the goal of establishing the current state of the historiography, this article first explores the progress made in the respective fields of gender and antifascism in Argentina in the last decades. It then analyzes a series of recent scholarly works that have incorporated the contributions made in both fields, showing the possibilities of integrating perspectives from both gender and antifascism. The article concludes by offering a research agenda that could guide future research
