FALCONE, Rosa. Feminists Debates in Argentine Magazines of the First Half of the 20th Century. []. , 22, 1, pp.418-434.   17--2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2022.66500.

Within the framework of historical inquiries into the specific features of "feminisms" in Argentina, this article aims to address this issue on the basis of a new study of feminist journals (Nuestra causa, Vida Femenina, Criterio), published in the mid-20th century. In keeping with previous lines of research, we intend to delve into the debates between feminist women, which, with the purpose of defending rights, reveal diverse ideological groups supported by institutions that were often at odds with each other. The discussions reflected by the reading of first-hand sources will give us the possibility of reaching some preliminary conclusions about the ideological-political affiliation of the women's groups that underpins the publication of the magazines and the reasons for the debates. Given the possibilities of space, we will limit ourselves to three currents that emerge from the analysis of the sources: the feminist trend in the socialist tradition, the groups representing liberal ideologies and, finally, the Catholic women. With regard to the latter group, for the purposes of the discussion, we will be concerned here with the Revista Sur, directed by Victoria Ocampo (1890-1986), which will allow us to examine the debates and ideological discrepancies between Catholic and liberal women.
