Abstract

La migración de las mujeres hacia Estados Unidos se había identificado en función del esposo o padre; asimismo, se argumentaba que las mujeres no emigraban como indocumentadas por los riesgos que implicaba, como si ahí terminara la historia de la migración femenina.Por ambas razones se atribuía que las mujeres tenían una posición pasiva en el proceso migratorio, por lo que los estudiosos de la temática aludían su "visibilidad" en función de la migración masculina.En el presente trabajo presentamos una tesis central: que las mujeres migrantes son actores que participan en los procesos sociales como la migración, y que dicha migración no es sólo producto del proceso de reunificación familiar condicionada por la migración masculina.El objetivo del documento es presentar la experiencia de la migración femenina en una etapa que he denominado "intermedia". ABSTRACTWomen's migration to the United States was identified in terms of the husband or father, and it was said that women did not illegally emigrate because the risks of doing so were enormous, as if this were the end of the story of female migration.For both reasons, women were given a passive position in the migratory process and experts on the issue aluded to their invisibility in terms of male migration.This paper presents a central thesis: women migrants are actors who participate in social processes such as migration, and migration is not only the product of a family reunification process conditioned by male migration.The object of the paper is to present me experience of female migration in a stage that I have called intermediate.
