How was the role of women until the 90s?

 When we talk about education in women we talk about struggle. In ancient times, the role of women was very different and inferior to men. There was much more inequality, they were not allowed to have a good education, to get involved in science and literature, which meant that they did not develop or expand their knowledge. In Inca times, the "education" of women was based on learning domestic activities, taking care of the family and weaving. Only girls of high social class and of great physical beauty could receive this education. It was not until 1822 when Don Jose de San Martin extended the Lancasterian education system to women.

As we know, not only the previous ones were prohibited for women, but also the possibility to work and earn money from herself. The woman was having a place in the working market little by little, the first jobs for the woman were nursery, chef and others. But the big change was in 1908, when the women started to be able to study in the university, this opened the doors to a new generation of women professionals that will help not only to the economy of their houses, but also to the economy of Peru, increasing by 60%.

Thanks to María Jesús Alvarado, feminism in Peru began in 1914, she began conversations with the Peruvian government to change women's rights starting with suffrage, she managed to form the first feminist group although her struggle was not enough and inequalities began to show. Even so, feminism in Peru is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided, so in 1970 the first struggles of women began in relation to their inequalities, several women from different groups joined together to take to the streets to protest for gender equality.
