Abstract

While the originary peoples from AbyaYala (America) were fighting to “take up the public word” (Caravantes, 1987), women from these societies have needed to make a specific effort to publicly show their own discourse, transcending the marginal and rhetoric references commonly applied to them, in order to make visible their fight and split with the conventional images that restricted them. It is difficult (sometimes unachievable) for them to break up with all the masculine native and neocolonial conceptions (including the "expert speech" from "other" women).
