It is a particularly arduous task to approach the phenomenon of the so-called Cold War from a perspective that includes women, who are just as affected as men by harassment and persecution, given that they have been the almost exclusive actors in specialised historiography, and not only in Latin Ame...

This article analyses two societies in two different chronological moments in the contextual framework of the Cold War, which led to the destabilisation of democratic governments and the establishment of institutional dictatorships in the region. In these scenarios, the role of women is highlighted both individually and collectively. In the case of Guatemala, the focus is on the career of María Cristina Vilanova, wife of President Arbenz. In the second case, Brazil, a women's movement is introduced within the framework of the struggles against the dictatorship imposed in 1964, the Movimento Femenino pela Anistía (MFPA), which emerged in 1975. Es una tarea particularmente ardua abordar el fenómeno de la denominada Guerra fría, desde una perspectiva que incluya especialmente a las mujeres, tan afectadas como los varones por los hostigamientos y las persecuciones, toda vez que han sido estos los actores casi exclusivos de la historiografía especializada y no sólo en América Latina. Este artículo analiza dos sociedades en dos momentos cronológicos diferenciados en el marco contextual de la Guerra fría que propendió a la desestabilización de gobiernos democráticos dando curso a la instauración de dictaduras institucionales en  la región. En esos escenarios se rescata el rol de mujeres tanto en clave individual y colectiva. En el caso de Guatemala se focaliza en la trayectoria de María Cristina Vilanova, esposa del Presidente Arbenz. En el segundo caso, Brasil, se introduce un movimiento femenino en el marco de las luchas contra la dictadura impuesta en 1964, el Movimento Femenino pela Anistía (MFPA) que vio la luz  en 1975.
