La militancia política femenina en la izquierda marxista ecuatoriana de la década de los sesenta: la URME y el PCE (Estudios)

The article examines the conflict emerging in the sixties from the threat of “factionalism” at the heart of the Communist Party of Ecuador (Partido Comunista del Ecuador (PCE) as a result of the bets being placed on guerrilla warfare by dissident groups who looked to Cuba’s experience as a model to bring about the revolution. This crisis forced the PCE to rethink its approach to the role of women in its rank and file membership and to draw up control mechanisms based on the Party’s hierarchical structure and the value system of its activism. As for the option to provide greater autonomy, it led certain leftwing women who were critical of the prevalence of men in the party’s leadership and its hierarchical structure to develop their potential for organizing; this in turn sustained the opportunity for women to develop their own political agency marked by their gender difference.
