DALLA CORTE CABALLERO, Gabriela. María Robotti and the Grito de Alcorta: Oral testimonies, true stories and agrarian agitation. Aljaba [online]. 2013, vol.17, pp.75-94. ISSN 1669-5704.

On June 25, 1912, in the room of the Italian society of Alcorta, a group of settlers began an agrarian movement that would have perhaps unthinkable consequences: pronounced "scream" that would spread to other regions of the province of Santa Fe, as well as to the neighbouring provinces of the Republic Argentina. This cry gave origin to the Federación Agraria Argentina (FAA) as a body for the defence of the rights of the farmers and the chacareras. The central character of this social movement was a woman, the Italian María Rosa Robotti, better known as "María, de Alcorta". Through interviews and family memories, discusses women’s participation during the Grito de Alcorta.
