    Women of vigorous spirit: Gender stereotypes and roles in the conquest of America in the 16th century
    (Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnologica de Colombia, 2024-01-01)
    This text investigates how certain exceptional actions carried out by women in the military sphere during the conquest of America in the 16th century were documented, interpreted, and narrated by witnesses and chroniclers. These accounts were influenced by gender archetypes and stereotypes shaped and influenced by the prevailing social, religious, moral, and cultural conventions of that period. The article analyzes some paradigmatic cases from the early Peruvian viceroyalty. This analysis is conducted from a gender perspective that enables the examination of aspects such as female models transferred to the New World and the consideration of the actions of some women in frontier territories, where various factors allowed for, and even demanded, roles far removed from the norms of Early Modern society.

    “Dios te diría ‘Yo no te hice esclava’”: percepciones del rol de la mujer en una iglesia cristiana de Lima
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-11-22)
    This article analyzes gender perceptions among women in the Agua Viva, Christian church, in Metropolitan Lima and Callao (Peru), based on Francois Dubet’ sociology of experience. The research uses a qualitative approach through interviews with seven members of the Church. The findings show convergences between women’s religious beliefs and their perceptions of gender roles in the family, education, work, and community participation. Although there is consensus among those interviewed about the importance of female participation in public life, there are also tensions between their experiences and views on gender roles in the private sphere, especially around marriage and motherhood. Women justify and interpret their perceptions based, among other elements, on their religious principles, expressing conservative beliefs and others adopting more progressive perspectives. The study highlights the diversity of interpretations and attitudes among participants, challenging the stereotype of extreme conservatism in evangelical churches and revealing nuances in the perspectives of women within these religious communities.

    Resource Booms and Entrenched Gender Roles in the Andes
    (Wiley, 2025-11-01)
    This paper examines the effects of mining booms on local labor markets in contexts where traditional gender roles limit women's participation. Results show that job creation is primarily driven by increased male employment in mining, with spillovers into construction and local services. Female employment responses are mixed, while some women gain access to these jobs, others shift toward unpaid domestic work. The expansion of mining appears to benefit men and unmarried women, while married women and those with caregiving responsibilities face reduced opportunities. Women are also more affected by heterogeneity in age and education. The findings underscore the role of the care economy and gender dynamics in shaping labor market outcomes during resource booms.
