Las mujeres de Vilcabamba
Este ensayo examina fuentes documentales inéditas y publicadas referentes a las mujeres que acompañaron, poblaron, resistieron y negociaron la existencia y el legado histórico de Vilcabamba como refugio incaico. Las acciones de las mujeres más visibles que operaban entre el mundo hispano y el indígena, como es el caso de la coya María Cusi Huarcay, nos ayudan a develar personajes menos conocidos pero importantes, atar cabos sueltos en la historio…

Capac Women and the Politics of Marriage in Early Colonial Peru
During the major Inca civil wars, Atahualpa had almost exterminated Huascar’s kin. Only a few capac women, those who descended from Manco Capac, the founder of the Inca dynasty, remained alive. Atahualpa had planned to take them as his principal wives since only this type of marriage could successfully maintain the authority of the Incas over a large Andean territory. The Spanish arrival in 1532 interrupted his plans, but it did not eliminate Inc…
Unfitting shoes: Footwear fashions and social mobility in colonial Peru
Feminine footwear fashions changed from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century in colonial Peru. Through a variety of textual and visual sources, this essay focuses on footwear fashions and the practices they demanded.

Virtuosas o corruptas: Las mujeres indígenas en las obras de Guamán Poma de Ayala y el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega

Mediante la antítesis bíblica de Eva y la Virgen María (Eva/Ave), estos dos autores clasifican a las mujeres indígenas en dos categorías: buenas y malas. La primera categoría está compuesta por sus ancestros femeninos precolombinos, s…
