These pages explore the generally unknown experiences of Creole and Indigenous women during the conquest and colonisation of the Bolivian Chaco during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. They accomplish so by examining women's actions in several environments: war, the hacienda, military forts, sugar mills and the Franciscan missions. Although they are not quite prominent in the historical record, a careful analysis of these scenarios show that women were active agents of the colonisation of the Chaco and, perhaps above all, significant agents of mediation between two antagonistic worlds.
