Paseo en el jardín

The Rivadavia Hospital, formerly the Buenos Aires Women's Hospital, maintains close ties with the Sociedad de Damas de Beneficencia (Women's Charitable Society), whose mark remains in documents and records from that period. Based on the discovery of a commemorative book about the institution, this article explores the visual discourses of the early 20th century, which reveal how society at that time assigned dissidents a place conditioned by scientific discourse. In a present marked by setbacks in rights and exclusionary narratives, looking back at the past invites us to imagine possible futures. Perhaps, in that exercise, lies our deepest form of resistance.
