Abstract
The reconstructions on the origins of Chilean Pentecostalism delivered by the Pentecostal apologetics, theology and social sciences are characterized by a significant limitation: the construction of a negative image or the exclusion of women in the movement´s foundational memory. This article aims to describe and analyze this phenomenon. Based on the analysis of primary and secondary sources, it will be shown that the exclusion and the defamation of the female image is not only due to a methodological and epistemological limitation, but also to a power strategy lead by pastors positioned in the hegemonic centers of Chilean Pentecostalism.
