Women’s suffrage in El Salvador: national and international contexts

Abstract

This article sheds light on the national and international contexts that marked the struggle for recognition of women’s citizenship during the 1920’s through the 1950’s in El Salvador. In tandem with the activism of key figures at the national level, the advocacy of representatives to the International Commission on Women as well as the actions of government delegates in the Panamerican Conferences is analyzed. When tracing the history of suffrage in El Salvador an oscillation that threatened the recognition of women’s citizenship is evidenced. In the end, the governments in power, in a country where democratic respite was brief, promoted women’s suffrage only when it was politically advantageous yet tossed it aside when new voters might threaten their hegemony.
