Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire

Hi everyone, today I´m going to talk about Julieta Kirkwood, who was a sociologist, political scientist, theorist and feminist activist, graduated from the University of Chile. She was born in 1936 and passed away in 1985, in Chile.

I really admire her for having been one of the first Chilean sociologists to produce highly relevant works on a continental level. In other words, she was one of the promoters of feminism and gender studies in the country. In addition, she was an important activist against the Pinochet dictatorship. 

Her main contributions were her feminist works that went hand in hand with activism, thus seeking to criticize liberal and conservative feminism. On the other hand, she constantly fights for the rights of all women in the country, postulating that: "There is no democracy without feminism."
