published a methodological reflection on Latin American gender history in The Americas.This marked the journal's first contribution of a series aimed at conveying the remarks of the Conference of Latin American History (CLAH)'s annual speaker.The invitation of Guy, a historian specializing in women and gender studies, as the annual speaker at CLAH in January 1994 was not accidental.It revealed the growing interest among Latin American academic communities in the field of gender history and the possibilities it offered to set new directions to Latin American history.According to Guy, by 1994, things were changing for gender historians.In the 1970s, when she first became interested in gender history, women and gender studies were marginal within the discipline.However, by the 1990s, she could "appreciate how accepted gender studies [had] become for Latin American historians." 1 The publication of Guy's talk for CLAH in The Americas was also representative of the development of women and gender histories within the journal itself.Since its first issue in 1944, women have figured as social actors in the histories presented by Latin American historians in the journal.Yet, the understanding of the category of "women" as well as the methods, concepts, and approaches used to comprehend women's roles and gender relationships have changed over time.The trajectory of the Americas reveals these changes, and the multiple discussions and questions grappled with by Latin American historians when addressing the question of gender in the historical field.Particularly, in her 1994 reflection, Guy highlighted a recurring question among Latin American historians that has also influenced The Americas' academic production on gender and women's histories: Are the gender theories from the United States and Western Europe I would like to extend a special thank you to The Americas' editorial board for giving me the invaluable opportunity to be a part of the journal's processes as a Vault Associate.I am especially grateful to Professor Ivonne Wallace Fuentes for her unwavering support and guidance throughout this process.I also want
