Women's social and revolutionary activism in 20th century El Salvador
Women's social and revolutionary activism in El Salvador during the 20th century emerged in response to the human rights violations, political oppression, and authoritarianism practiced under the numerous military regimes. During the cycles of military rule that controlled the country from 1931 to 1979, the population of El Salvador experienced political repression, state violence against working-class and rural communities, and socioeconomic inequalities.
