Abstract
The role of women during the wars of independence in Latin America was significant in both the revolutionary and Fidelist forces; evidenced in the proliferation of printed matter giving an account of its direct and indirect actions; as well as the repeated calls to join one of the sides. The objective of this research is to analyze the images and perceptions that were forged about women using as sources El Observador Americano (1816) and Los Andes Libres (1821), published in Buenos Aires and Lima, respectively, in the context of their independence. Both publications allow us to document their role from a connected history perspective, highlighting the idea of the politicization of women in times of revolution.
