Abstract

This work studied which narratives or characteristics are associated with this commemoration and how they have evolved. For the analysis I have used the history of science and feminist theory as tools to complexify the form and message of the discourses. It is relevant to study this commemoration since it has not been studied yet, and it offers a privileged point of view to learn about the functioning of society, politics, the feminist agenda, and the constructions of the past.
