Madres y piqueteras. Partecipazione femminile e ambivalenza di ruolo nella crisi alimentare argentina

This article will explore the dynamics of gender equality in food conflicts occurred in Argentina during the crisis of 2001. The empirical material consists of interviews and observations gathered in an investigation about the piquetero movement (MP) of Cordoba. Women's participation in these forms of politics and mutual mobilization was decisive, though not adequately recognized. We will focus in particular on the role played by women during the food crisis in Argentina, in the context of community work.
