Between 1997 and 2001, Tartagal and General Mosconi, two towns developed under the state petroleum exploitation and localized in the province of Salta, in the argentine northwest, were scenario of intense social conflicts. From those confrontations emerged a novel social actor: the piquetero movement. Both in the movement building and in the road blockades, which was the main way of protest, the active presence of women was fundamental. This article analyses women’s experiences of participation, organization and leadership in the road blockades, by interpreting the memories they elaborated during interviews.
