Abstract

The history of the participation of women in Costa Rican cooperativism can be written from the late 1980s, when woman and her contribution to cooperativism remained invisible. During three decades, a small group of women, with a clear vision of the legal-social nature of cooperatives, as well as their principles, have given the struggle to achieve an equitable political- economic participation within the cooperative organization. The results have not yet been positive, despite the public policies of the Costa Rican State in this route and a general favorable context within the global cooperativism movement, where the International Cooperative Alliance promotes the establishment of equality and equity for the cooperative women in the countries of America.
