A traición y al descubierto: representación del intelectual venezolano, en marionetas (1952), de lourdes morales

between 1936 and 1947, the venezuelan intellectual women significantly changed their position within the cultural field. sowhen marcos pérez jiménez came to power, in 1948 - tried to stop the journey that venezuelan women journalists, political and writers had done before. the government's repressive gesture toward intellectual women prompted them to devise strategies to survive in the national imagination and, in turn, construct alternative spaces for their participation. marionetas (1952), by lourdes morales is an example of this. it is a text where the authoress dismantles the myths on which the desarrollism was sustained and there evaluates the power of the feminine and masculine intellectuality in the venezuela of middle of 20th century.
