La Voz de la Mujer

It’s been two decades since the last publishing of La Voz de la Mujer, communist-anarchic journal (1896-1897). In 1997, the Publishing House of the National University of Quilmes decided to reproduce all the identified and legible material contained in the nine issues of said feminist-anarchic journal. The context of feminist effervescence of the last few years, the vast evidence of massive support to antipatriarchal feelings by the younger generations – as seen in recent demonstrations supporting the legalization of abortion here in Argentina – the strong academic endorsement of the studies about women, of gender relations and the impact of sexual and gender dissidence have been decisive drivers for a new publishing of this book (Dora Barrancos, from “the second edition prologue”). La Voz de la Mujer was one of the typical small, semi-clandestine and ephemeral daily newspapers of the communist-anarchist tendency, which claimed the motto "propaganda through the facts". The editors emerged from the great Spanish and Italian communities, and identified themselves with the women of the working class. This edition reproduces all the localized and readable material of the nine issues of this publication of the end of the last century, representative of a highly radicalized nucleus of the Argentine social movement constituted at the crossroads of feminism and communism-anarchism.
