Women of the South: history, culture and legacy

Overview of the tour in Buenos Aires

Rebels, fighters, thinkers and transgressors, Argentine women have played roles that built the identity of our country through struggle, culture, religion, politics, literature and science. Spies and libertines like Madame Perichón, holy witches like Mama Antula, forbidden lovers like Camila O'Gorman, the colonial world was tinged with gatherings in the house of Mariquita Sánchez, while Manuela Pedraza slit Englishmen's throats in battle.

From dueling women like Martina Chapanay to skillful politicians like Manuelita Rosas, the history of the Río de la Plata gave birth to great feminist thinkers like Alicia Moreau de Justo and Julieta Lanteri, to literary women like Alfonsina Storni or Victoria Ocampo, to stateswomen like Eva Perón, to heroines in Malvinas and fighters like the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.

We invite you on a journey through their fascinating history where we will visit squares, monuments, cathedrals and bridges, telling stories of women with a past of struggle, blood and glory.
