The mapuche women

For the history the topics of indigenous women it was and it is even today a gray zone for the discipline.
Gayatric Spivak, a women study the fenomenon of colonialism in the subjects, say: "when it was and be a subaltern, the condition of gender (be a women) and ethnical makes them three time more subaltern."
This society condicional develop to the silence and invisibility of the women indigenous and the importance of her inside of the comunity.

In the particular, the case of the mapuche women is not different in the historiography, maybe counted with the fingers hands the investigation it's not sufficent for understand tath, mapuche women it's was and be a crucial character in the fight of mapuche people, for the freedom of their territory and their rights about them.

In some chronicles it's writed about mapuche womens fought side by side with the men, they are described like a powerfull and ruthless like a men... in this way, Ercilla in "The Aracuna" writed about Fresia in the same way...

On the another hand, in time of the UP, it was the mapuche women who led the lands ocupations in the cnetral and south of Chile, the "ñañas" organized and takes this land and built their communities "lof".

The mapuche women does and is an agent of history.
