On the 23rd of September 1947, with the conquest of the female vote in Argentina, some of the claims of the women’s movement that began at the end of the 19th century became a reality. Accomplishing that important stage, involved a complex path that still continues in the present with new and old demands. In this docufiction, the well-known actress Muriel Santa Ana plays Julieta Lanteri, Carolina Muzzilli, Alfonsina Storni and Salvadora Medina Onrubia, four pioneers of women’s civil and political rights that changed Argentinean history. Their stories, struggles and the context of their fights are told and illustrated by scholars and historical footage. This is a particularly relevant topic in Argentina today, since the contemporary women’s movement ‘Ni una menos’, a civil organization that fights against the major problem of feminicides in Argentina, is coming to the attention of public opinion.
