Abstract

The historiography on the "second line" of Peronism refers to men and women who contributed ideas, experience, management skills and political, union and economic ties to the nascent movement led by Juan and Eva Perón. They acted as intermediaries between the charismatic leaders and the Peronist people, making possible a new dynamic of political interaction in political mobilization and party structuring.

This work -in articulation with a gender perspective- aims to recover the action of one of those leaders, Elsa Chamorro Alamán, whose intervention is part of the Peronist Feminine Party. Her role as the first “delegada censista” (census delegate) in the province of Córdoba, between 1949 and 1951, is essential to understand the potentiality and limits of a party structure exclusively made up of women, territorial and vertical in nature, and concentrated around the figure of “Evita capitana”.
