Abstract

Este artículo aborda las narrativas de género, trabajo y ciudadanía de las feminidades católicas y sus prácticas sociales durante la Argentina peronista. Exploramos cómo las católicas a través del órgano de prensa Anhelos enunciaron los discursos de ciudadanía entrelazados al ideal de domesticidad. En este periodo, la Acción Católica compartió con el peronismo la representación de las mujeres como baluartes de la nación. El artículo analiza las actitudes sociales trabajadoras y amas de casa frente a las narrativas católicas y profundiza en la agencia social que desplegaron algunas militantes de base de la Acción Católica en el proceso de construcción nacional.
