This study focuses on the transcendental events that have marked the history of feminist struggles, which have sought the vindication of women in the social, political and cultural spheres. Based on the events that took place in Latin America since the 20th century as primary references and in this way managing to understand the reality of today's society, where despite the advances in gender issues, there is still a predominant patriarchal model that promotes a strongly exclusionary androcentric vision. From the 1960s onwards, feminist ideas that had been calm in the face of the conquest of certain rights at the beginning of the 20th century re-emerged, as a result of this awakening and the construction of a society marked by the feminist struggle that still continues today (Álvarez, 2007).
