Six periods and four historical events that brought sociocultural change from the perspective of gender for salvadoran women and society. This study begins with the suffragist struggle of Prudencia Ayala in the 1930’s until the attaintment of femenine vote in 1950. In 1957, emerges the Fraternidad de Mujeres Salvadoreñas constituted by working class women, whose tasks were to support labor union struggles. Then it deals with the transition from former female guerrilla fighters to femenists, with the emergence of women organizations that incorporated geneder perspective in El Salvador. The essay closes with the main agendas and strategies of the Movimiento de Mujeres y Feministas (MM y F) from 1992 to 2008.
