The article reviews the notion of "emancipation" and its paradoxical reference in civil coding. Marriage was the way for the autonomy of minors, but in the case of women meant a re-entry to subordination. We examine certain emancipatory behaviors adopted by a small number of women in Argentine society at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, in different social settings. Such behaviors may not correspond to the level of complete autonomy, but there is no doubt that the experience of unruly and challenging behavior has been an excellent mark in the life of the congeners.
