Cross-border discourses around female emancipation: Teresa Claramunt and Juana Rouco Buela, two libertarian feminists who fought for equality.

Abstract

This article analyzes the discourses on female emancipation within the anarchist political culture and how they transcended national borders. To do so, we use the texts written by two referents of Spanish and Argentine anarchism: Teresa Claramunt and Juana Rouco Buela. We establish the link between both discourses through their participation in the press, highlighting its transnational component and the existing connections on both sides of the Atlantic. Through transnational history and the history of women, we try to recover the subjective experience of these women, their emancipatory discourses, as well as their alliances and transnational networks, which were a vehicle for ideological, discursive and practical exchange.
