Abstract

Here, I study the historically produced relations between motherhood, citizenship, and gender in liberal-modernization Argentina. I analyze the concept of female citizenship as well as that of motherhood, considered one of the central mandates in patriarchal society and one that has been politically produced as the counterpart of women’s exclusion from the effective enjoyment of the rights proclaimed as universal. In order to do so, a contemporary French woman immigrant’s autobiography is analyzed, as what today is called “intimate writing” allows for considering the strategies of women, legally confined to the domestic space, to project their voices in the public space. It is their possible subjective constitution on the road to producing a citizenship that also includes women as subjects of law—with the right to have a voice of their own, to begin with.

Keywords:

citizenship, autobiography, motherhood, exclusion
