  Early 20th century Latin American feminist history concludes with women’s suffrage. The years spanning 1870–1947 are generally considered the pivotal years for women’s suffrage (Gargallo 2004: 94). However, to view this slice of history as merely centered on suffrage misrepresents the multiplicity of feminist ideas and activities developed during the time. These years also witnessed the push for social transformation oriented around ideas of equality and justice that included, but was not limited to, the right to vote. The push for equality framed women’s insistence on public access to education, which impacted not just women but the impoverished as well. The call for a more just social order framed how women were thinking about their locale in resistance to military intervention as well as labor movements. Hence, the ideas that emanate from this period are multidimensional. The era is identified as closing out with the accomplishment of suffrage. However, the right to vote emerged at different times throughout the region, owing to the diversity of local politics. For instance, Ecuador was the first country in South America to enfranchise women in 1929. That same year, Puerto Rico enfranchised literate women and in 1935, gave the vote to all women. Uruguay followed shortly after in 1932, Cuba in 1933, and El Salvador in 1939. However, the suffrage movement stagnated in other countries: women were enfranchised in Nicaragua and Perú in 1955, and only in 1961 did Paraguay give women the vote.
