2021 | Diana Milena Chinchilla Romero
This thesis explores the life trajectories of three elderly Santander women who migrated to Bogotá, analyzing their experiences through a feminist lens. It examines the processes of socialization in Santander, the migratory journey to Bogotá, and the experience of old age, emphasizing the women's agency and resistance against patriarchal structures. The study highlights how migration strengthened their social, cultural, and economic capital, enabling them to navigate life in the city and contribute to the legacies of their daughters and granddaughters. The research employs a biographical method, engaging in in-depth interviews with the women to reconstruct their life stories, revealing the ways in which they navigated gender roles, socialization, and migration. The findings underscore the importance of recognizing the agency of elderly women, challenging stereotypes and highlighting their resilience and contributions to society. The study contributes to the understanding of women's experiences in migration and aging, emphasizing the need to value and preserve the knowledge and experiences of elderly women in feminist and gender studies. Keywords: elderly women, migration, agency, Santander, life course.This thesis explores the life trajectories of three elderly Santander women who migrated to Bogotá, analyzing their experiences through a feminist lens.
