»Ê¼Ò»ªÈË

This research will provide the first comprehensive examination of women’s participation in right-wing politics in twentieth-century Peru, a theme central to the history of right-wing movements and women’s history but hitherto largely overlooked. 

The project has three goals: (i) to examine the origins and development of Peruvian right-wing parties and movements during the twentieth century; (ii) to investigate the various manners in which women participated in right-wing politics, including their contribution to the production, dissemination, and representation of right-wing ideas, and their transnational links aimed at expanding their influence and political commitment; (iii) to identify women’s motivations and interests when participating in right-wing movements. 

By combining archival analysis, studies of printed material and oral history techniques, Crisostomo will write the first monograph on women’s participation in right-wing politics in twentieth-century Peru. Her research will advance the fields of right-wing politics, women’s participation in radical politics, and women’s history.

She will be based in the UCL History Department and mentored by Professor Nicola Miller.
