TOVAR NUNEZ, Marianela. La violencia masculina durante el septenio guzmancista: 1870-1877. Revista Venezolana de Estudios de la Mujer [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.32, pp.191-210. ISSN 1316-3701.

The venezuelan history work has been indifferent and contemptous towards the construction of a historical discourse with feminist perspective. The historical research analyzing issues such as the invisibility of women in history was practically absent. On this work it will be shown, however, how is male violence revealed, specifically violence against women in Caracas, during the so-called Guzmancic septennian. Studied criminal cases, are discovering the recurrence along history of various forms of male violence and the persistence of social practices and discourses that validate and approve it, so this research aims to be a small contribution to the study of complex relationships of domination and subordination between the sexes.
