Abstract

In this article we address the relationship between women and politics in three cycles of the recent Argentina, comprised between the 70s and early XXI century, according to trace lines of continuity and rupture, in a relationship that has been conflicting, as several studies have suggested (Amorós 1994; Ríos Tobar 2008). The temporary demarcation we use to operationalize our proposal recognizes three major groups: political generations of 1970, 1980 and 2000. To this end, we will work with reference cases for each period, chosen as models showing the most representative types of militancy for each political generation: the
political-military activism to the decade of `70, militancy in the trade union movement and human rights organizations in the `80, and participation in the new unemployed organizations that emerged during the crisis of neoliberalism, in the late twentieth century. Our paper identifies continuities in gender claims, according to consider the
historical accumulation that the women's movement has been expressing, while notice innovative breaks in reference to the treatment of gender issues in contemporary social movements.
