"The author of this book knows that it would not be fair to apply to the past works of Chilean women artists, the analytical instruments provided by today's international feminist theory. Mariairis Flores Leiva avoids such academic force, reinserting works and exhibitions in their respective political and social contexts to delineate the historical trajectory that moved the sign "woman" from the interiority of the self to the collectivity of "we women". The respectful gesture of this book allows the original plots of creative production and discursive emergence that surrounded those works and exhibitions in which its author dwells. It is thanks to the critical vigilance of his meticulous work of historiographical rescue; to the touch of its collection and protection of errant and fragile data to incorporate it into maps connected underground; to the vital curiosity of Mariairis Flores which drives it to leave the university format of forced knowledge, so that we can access the most blurred and fluctuating lines of how the categories woman, femininity, body, sex, gender and feminism were displaced, in a time span that covers the period of the military dictatorship until the beginning of the democratic transition in Chile.
