In the 1930s, Pan-American feminist organizations forged transnational networks that were highly influential in the public sphere of Latin American countries. This article analyzes the role of the Legión Femenina de Educación Popular and the Unión de Mujeres Americanas in Bolivia after the Chaco War, showing how both participated in key intellectual and political debates during the intense political effervescence preceding the 1952 revolution. Their members thus fully engaged in the intellectual and political discussions in which currents such as socialism, Marxism, and indigenism gained prominence in the public sphere.

Palavras-chave : Pan-American feminism; Bolivia; 1930s; socialism; indigenism.
