Resumen: El presente artículo, aborda una mirada de género al interior de la resistencia esclava en la región histórica de Vueltabajo, en Cuba. Se establecen los parámetros geohistóricos, económicos y naturales que condicionan la presencia de la mujer cimarrona, con dos estudios de casos representativos: el de la Madre Melchora y el de Petrona Conga. Los métodos histórico-lógico, y de recopilación, ordenamiento y análisis documental de las fuentes primarias, sustentaron los resultados que se presentan. Se resalta a modo de conclusiones, el papel de las mujeres en el cimarronaje como portadoras y trasmisoras de una cultura de resistencia, lo que contrasta con la escasa atención que sobre el asunto existe en la historiografía cubana. Abstract: This article reports a gender perspective within the slave resistance in the historical region of Vueltabajo, in Cuba. The geohistorical, economic and natural parameters that determine the presence of the Maroon woman are established, with two representative case studies: that of Mother Melchora and that of Petrona Conga. The historical-logical methods, and the collection, ordering and documentary analysis of the primary sources, supported the results presented. It highlights as a conclusion, the role of women in the cimarronaje as carriers and transmitters of a culture of resistance, which contrasts with the scant attention on the matter in Cuban historiography.

En este artículo abordaremos algunas cuestiones relacionadas con la Educación Inicial y el protagonismo de las mujeres en la misma en los albores de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Nos interesa analizar cómo se constituye un modo de ser “maestra jardinera” y para ello debemos remontarnos a los aportes de los primeros pensadores que advertían sobre el lugar protagónico de la madre en la construcción de una sociedad nombrada como educada. Las prescripciones para ser mujer y madre parecen influir de modo decisivo en las representaciones acerca del ser “maestra jardinera"..

WOMEN AND EDUCATION OF FIRST CHILDHOOD IN ARGENTINA IN THE 1960S Abstract: in this article we will address some issues related to Early Education and the role of women in it at the dawn of the second half of the twentieth century. We are interested in analyzing how a way of being "master gardener" is constituted and, for that, we must go back to the contributions of the first thinkers who warned about the protagonic place of the mother in the construction of a society named as educated. The prescriptions for being a woman and a mother seem to have a decisive influence on the representations about being a teacher of the youngest ones, as recorded in the primary sources and testimonies of oral history.

Three primary sources (Gabriel Sagard, Joseph-Francois Lafitau and Lewis Henry Morgan) written in three different centuries are consulted to discover what information they contain on the economic, social and political role of women in Iroquoian society. This information is analyzed with respect to its reliability and credibility. Recent interpretations of the ethnohistoric record (Brown, Tooker and Trigger), as well as the primary sources are considered in terms of the role of women in the authors' societies. These sources show that the role of Iroquoian women changed over time; however, the record may have been influenced by the role of women in the authors' societies at the time.

The World

The Hussite tradition historically has been excluded by the mainstream of Reformation historiography. Czech-language scholarship treating Hussite history have made few significant advances in the study of women and there has been limited attention given to the role women played in the Hussite tradition. The gap in Anglophone historiography is even more apparent. This essay considers Klára, a sixteenth-century Prague housekeeper, Marta, a learned figure contemporary with Klára who withstood civil and ecclesiastical officials, and Anna Marie Trejtlarová, an early seventeen-century educated laywoman. Their names are almost completely unknown outside Czech historiography. An examination of their lives and faith by means of the surviving primary sources and relevant historiography provides a window through which to observe the nature of religious reform in the Prague context in the world of Reformations. What is striking is the role of theology and the nature of female agency in the examination of these women. The essay endeavours to use these case studies to present a preliminary answer to the question: What do women tell us about Reformation? This study reveals the world of religious reform more fully by situating women and female agency in an active capacity.

The Relationship

This article focuses on the role of women as patrons of monastic institutions, monks and church hierarchs in the late medieval Balkans. Two case studies from medieval Serbia are examined to demonstrate the peculiarities of the relationship between female rulers and bishops, as well as of the different forms and aspects of female patronage of monasticism, like founding and donating to monasteries or commissioning liturgical books. One of the most important questions concerns the motivation of women for patronizing monks. It is suggested that there was some interplay in cooperation between female patrons and monks. The question is posed whether prayers, commemoration, spiritual guidance and even the composing of a vita (i.e. contributing to the veneration of a new saint) may be understood as a form of compensation on the part of the monks towards female patrons.

Female roles in online social media forums are continually changing and often reflect the global social and political context. In addition, the security context also plays an important part in the role of females online. Social media evidence suggests that females are very active online in terms of recruitment. This chapter looks at two case studies focusing on the roles of women as wives and warriors and the changing dynamic between the two roles. Overall, women demonstrate a high level of gender utility and can change roles as required by the security and political context.

ResumoA sociedade líquido-moderna, na perspectiva de Bauman (2007), é caracterizada pela fluidez, transitoriedade, individualismo, velocidade, diversificação e mudança constante. O papel da mulher se modificou quando ela passou a desenvolver estratégias de inventar a vida para responder a essa sociedade. Menos dependentes financeira e psiquicamente, elas inseriram-se profissionalmente em diversos ramos de atuação, inclusive em profissões antes exclusivamente masculinas, como a de motorista de táxi. Assim, neste trabalho buscamos verificar e analisar, na perspectiva do gênero, estratégias de inventar a vida de mulheres taxistas, público de estudo pouco explorado no Brasil. Para atingir o objetivo proposto realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória de cunho qualitativo, com coleta de dados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 15 mulheres taxistas porto-alegrenses. Foi efetuada análise de conteúdo e resultados indicam estratégias de inventar a vida para as mulheres pesquisadas.Palavras-chave: mulheres taxistas; sociedade líquido-moderna; estratégias de inventar a vida.***A Strategy for Inventing Life Under the Perspective of Gender:  a look at female taxi driversAbstractThe liquid modern society on Bauman’s (2007) perspective, is characterized by fluidity, transience, individualism, speed, diversification, and constant change. The role of women shifted when they started developing strategies for inventing life in order to respond to this society. Less financially and psychically dependent, they became professionally integrated into several lines of business, including those which were previously exclusively masculine, such as driving taxis. Thus, in this article we seek to verify and analize, under the perspective of gender, the strategies for inventing life of female taxi drivers, an understudied community in Brazil. In order to achieve the proposed goal, we undertook a qualitative exploratory research, collecting data by semistructured interviews with 15 female taxi drivers in the city of Porto Alegre. The analysis of the content showed results that indicate strategies for inventing life for the women surveyed.Keywords: female taxi drivers; liquid modern society; strategies for inventing life.***Estrategia de Inventar la Vida en la Perspectiva de Género: Una Mirada Para Las Mujeres Conductores De TaxiResumenLa sociedad líquida-moderna en la perspectiva de Bauman (2007), se caracteriza por la fluidez, fugacidad, el individualismo, la velocidad, la diversidad y el cambio constante.
