In these events, Ecuadorian women have been protagonistsof changes that have modified the course of the country's history, from the different resistancesof which they have been part. This can be evidenced in the historical search for the recognition of fundamental rights and the acquisition of spaces for political and social representation. Of course, by breaking down the patriarchal barriers of oppression that have made everything thatcomes from women invisible by gender. The historical reconstruction with an anti-capitalist and decolonial feminist perspective constitutes a rereading of the history of Ecuador in relationto women, starting from the compression of the female population as a heterogeneous group, due to the multiplicity implied by the systemic inequality on which they are founded. patriarchy and capitalism.
