Gabriela Mistral and Alfonsina Storni were fully aware that they were living in a time of transition, marked by great economic, political and social transformations. The essays and chronicles they publish in newspapers and magazines between the end of 1910 and 1930 give testimony to their particular point of view about these processes of modernization as well as to their attempts to intervene and destabilize the hegemonic discourses about them. The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the relationship between Mistral and Storni with certain aspects of modernization, based on their journalistic prose. What does it mean for them, as women, writers and workers, to live in a time of transition? What is their particular vision of a period of radical transformation for women and other disempowered people?
