Resumen
En el marco de la conmemoración del bicentenario de la República de Costa Rica, este artículo presenta la trayectoria de los movimientos de mujeres y feministas costarricenses en la consecución de sus derechos políticos. Para ello se parte de la lucha sufragista llevada a cabo durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, particularmente por la Liga Feminista, que posibilitó el reconocimiento de estos derechos a las mujeres costarricenses; hasta desembocar en las luchas feministas de finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI, abocadas al establecimiento de mecanismos de acción afirmativa –como las cuotas y la paridad– que permitieran concretar la igualdad sustantiva En la parte final, este artículo repasa algunas paradojas existentes en el avance de la igualdad sustantiva de las mujeres y recobra algunos de los retos vigentes para el avance de la agenda de derechos de las humanas.
On the eve of Costa Rica’s bicentennial celebration, this article presents the trajectory of Costa Rican women and feminists’ movements in the achievement of their political rights. Therefore, it begins with the suffragist struggle carried out during the first half of the twentieth century, particularly by the Feminist League, which made possible the recognition of these rights to Costa Rican women. Subsequently, the article refers to the contemporary feminist struggles, in the late XX century and early XXI century, aimed at establishing affirmative action mechanisms -such as quotas and parity- that would make it possible to elect more women in popular representation positions. Finally, the article reviews some existing paradoxes in the advancement of the substantive equality and recovers some of the current challenges for the advancement of women human rights agenda.
