ZUNIGA ELIZALDE, Mercedes. Female Uprising in the Post Sonoran Revolution. Secuencia [online]. 2022, n.112, e1890.  Epub Mar 07, 2022. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i112.1890.

This article reflects on the political action in which some women engaged in the public arena during the post-Sonoran revolution, by becoming involved and adopting positions in the conflicts that convulsed the state during that period. The article examines the demands they made, the contexts in which their organizations were created and the alliances they established to base their participation on the public space, which, over the years, eventually enabled them to lead unions and occupy positions in state administration, political parties, and popularly elected positions once women’s suffrage had been legislated in 1953. The text is the result of archival work conducted over several years and seeks to contribute to knowledge about the presence and public action of women in Sonora and in general the historiographic studies on women recently undertaken in the region.

Keywords : history; women; political action; unions; forms of participation.
