Resumen

Taking into account the long-distance bonding of two Peruvian women activists with the discourses and collectives of the First International Feminine Congress of Buenos Aires, the article focuses on the advances and setbacks of their emancipatory projects. A counterpoint reading between Alvarado's novel Nuevas Cumbres and the papers she and Dora Mayer presented at the 1910 Buenos Aires congress, as well as other non-fiction texts, reveals the problems they faced in forging the interclass alliances needed for the development of feminism in their country.
