- Abstract
From the 90's onwards, Guarani women from Northwest Argentina began to demand a bigger participation in their communities, as well as within indigenous organizations. Beyond the fact that some women have managed to attain the recognition of their people by assuming different positions of leadership, truth is, this is a process of change that faces strong resistance and criticism from the indigenous organization spaces that, traditionally, have been male spaces. This leads us to explore the roles assigned to women within the Guarani people. Taking an ethno-historical and ethnographical point of view, our purpose is to be able to account for certain transformations in the gender relationships that have made possible for indigenous women to exercise their right to participate in the public life of their people. The modalities adopted by the leadership of Guarani women are analyzed through their own participation experiences as authorities in political community organizations and interethnic regional organizations.
