GAMBOA CACERES, Teresa. Nuestra América contra el imperio Español huellas de la participación de la mujer. Revista Venezolana de Estudios de la Mujer [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.34, pp.119-138. ISSN 1316-3701.

This study aimed to be an essay on Domitila Ana Maria Campos and Flores, two heroines Zulia independence. However, little information on their participation and the need to place them in the historical context in which they acted, led us to a broader reflection, without losing sight of these women who suffered the rigors of repression by the Spanish Empire in the last period of their rule. Therefore, we approached the continental struggle against Spain and the political, economic and social circumstances that triggered it, focusing on the participation of women. The basic conclusion is the low visibility of women in our historiography, product mainly of male historians, that raises the challenge to overcome these silences.
