Abstract

María Josefa García Granados, known as Pepita, is an outstanding character of the 1821 pro-independence Guatemala movement.  This essay aims to show that Pepita, as a first political and feminist token, owns her historical leading role to her literary skills, as well as to the activism and social awareness she awake throughout her plays, the news papers and bulletins ruled by her.  Pepita broke with restrictions of her times imposed by the patriarchal society to women regarding the female political participation in the public affairs of the country.  Therefore, understanding her public, literary and female works allows us to set the plot between historical and political reality of the Central American and Latin American pro-independence movements and, moreover, to understand the processes of circulation of ideas taking as a point of departure the materiality of texts, the hegemonic discourses and the logos.
