“Las verdaderas feministas eran las de antes”: acciones colectivas de mujeres, una mirada comparativa

“Those are not the forms” and “feminists were the ones from before” are sentences that have been part of the narratives of power that delegitimize the action of contemporary women but that cannot be sustained or justified by history. This paper identifies women's collective actions in different historical and spatial contexts to understand the stigma built on feminism: 1) the suffragette movement in England (1912), 2) women's anarcho-syndicalism in Bolivia (1935), and 3) the feminist movement in Neiva, Colombia (2018-2024). This research was developed from the historical-hermeneutic paradigm, using a qualitative approach and applying mixed triangulation. Likewise, by means of techniques and tools identify emerging relationships and categories in the history of the struggle for women's rights, evidencing that stigma has been a constant perception towards the movement, as well as the close relationship of the repertoires of action of women before and contemporarily.
