Abstract

This study focuses on the women’s struggle to become political actors in three Latin American countries: Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador. It analyzes the education of women as a decisive factor for obtaining the right to vote and enter in  the  public  arena  through  the  publication  of  newspapers.  It  studies  how women created their own political organizations, many of which were supported by liberals, conservatives and socialists. In spite of the fact that the struggle to win the female vote was a combination of the female organizations of women’s  rights,  the  Inter-American  dialogue  and  the  support  of  male  public figures, it was the populist leaders who approved the female vote. They used this right to attract the female vote in their presidential reelections.
