Resumen
SUAREZ, Mariana Libertad. The hesitation of the motherland: the underside of the War of Independence in Nery Russo 's La mujer del caudillo (1952). Anclajes [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.161-183. ISSN 1851-4669.
This article examines Nery Russo's La mujer del caudillo (1952) in order to explore how this novel portrays the woman as a historical subject and especially how the scientific discipline called "History" and its notion of "truth" are treated in this text. In this regard, the following issues are highlighted: (1) the mechanisms that allow the author to present historiography as the partitioning of a significant exchange network formulated to regulate identities, and (2) the strategies by which Russo gives an account of herself in the Venezuelan cultural field in the early fifties, when the domestic role of Venezuelan women seemed mandatory.
