DIED 25 YEARS AGO Alicia Moreau de Justo
The May 12, 1986 medical and political died Argentina Alicia Moreau de Justo. He was born in London in 1885, and in his long life was one of the most outstanding figures of Argentine feminism and socialism. Participated in many institutions, from the Socialist Feminist Center in 1902 until the creation of the Permanent Assembly for Human Rights (APDH) in 1975. We remember with Alicia Flores, Hebe de Bonafini texts and Eva Giberti published in the journal Crisis , n ยบ 43 June 1986. "small and fragile figure of Alicia Moreau de Justo, did not reflect the strength, the greatness and the fighting spirit of this woman.
I, in my youth, when he heard of her, she felt very distant. I never imagined that with the passage of time would know. From the first time with us at the march. In the Plaza, along with Elena and her husband shared between us the classic red carnations, and above all, love and understanding to the cause of the missing.
When we advised, said day by day to write everything they do, but we, at first believed that the struggle was for a short time, we did not. Just in 1980 we realized what had been her sage advice.
Women like his spirit will never die. Remain alive their ideas, their example, their delivery. Are all over it, a mirror in which we must look each day.
What we got started: it was medical, if so, at that time was a real feat, was political, intelligent and honest in all its operations. Alicia lived as he preached, delivered to their principles, rail and dignity.
Argentine women should try to follow his way. If you only remember it as a myth, nothing will earned their sacrifices. We, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, remember unabated, and we promise not to throw into the sea his teachings.
Until victory always, Alicia Moreau de Justo. Hebe de Bonafini
"Now is historical, but seventy years ago, when she was thirty, was passing a very difficult way of criticism and misunderstanding: feathering in partisan politics and feminism, practicing medicine and denouncing social injustice certainly had to fight relentlessly. Make children and raise them in the midst of hectic activity that erupts was not militant and professional small task indeed, as will have been finding the time to love when a man claims to take its place next to a woman.
I want to stay with this Alicia Moreau, which required on behalf of the oppressed in the days when it was dangerous and 'frowned upon' it, in the case of a woman claiming the right for us at the time that meant a betrayal of the traditionally female subjugation tax, which irritated and disconcerted his countrymen because they did not respond strictly silent model wife and mother exclusively devoted to their children. I want to stay with her when she did what others said could not be done or, failing that, the project raised that we are launching today. I want to stay with that which was before it was recognized by the general respect and want to evoke in their disappointments and hopes and in the continuing struggle that was his passion. Alicia
cane and the blanket over his knees, his face aged and witnessed a tribute permanent intellectual enough for me to learn what still has to teach, his stubborn dialogue with other women, the subtle irony with which he used the spaces were granted in the past three years answering them with replicas unforgettable, its clear cut and formidable enemy decision to fight for what he believed. All that was played during the mature and juvenile taking all the risks at that time.
I think it necessary to dismiss the farewell ritual before imposing death, but only incidentally interrupted her proposed work and find that each new day. "
