Abstract
This article studies the political interaction of
women with their context and their constructions
as political subjects – in all their complexity
– beyond their vocal opposition or support
to a party during the Independence of the New
Granada period, particularly in Santafe, from
1810 to 1820. First of all, we tackle the reciprocal
relationship of rights and duties held
with the government as women, which implied
gender-differentiated functions that were
accepted (or not), helping to maintain the established
order (or challenging it). Second, we
deal with the reciprocal relationship of rights
and duties held with the government, not only
as women, but as vassals, citizens, or, the mere
generic concept of “people under the government”.
This concept makes it possible to overcome
the resistance of the actors of the time to
concede a political status to them. Lastly, we
analyze their construction as political supporters
and detractors.
