Abstract
[Resumen]: Los movimientos migratorios entre las dos orillas del Atlántico han sido de gran relevancia, tanto por su cantidad como por su heterogeneidad,
desde el momento en que estos territorios se pusieron en contacto. El flujo constante de personas, así como de mercancías e ideas en este ámbito
oceánico, propició que en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII los círculos republicanos ingleses y americanos estrecharan sus vínculos, con algunas
mujeres como activistas notables. La escritora inglesa Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791), además de escribir sobre los cruciales acontecimientos
del momento, cruzó el océano con el deseo de estar cerca y vivirlos en primera persona. Por otro lado, debido a intereses comunes mantuvo una
intensa relación epistolar durante más de veinte años con la escritora americana Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). A pesar de las limitaciones que
encontraron en ámbitos primordialmente masculinos, como el de la historia y la política, la contribución de estas mujeres no se limitó al
esperable apoyo, sino que sus inquietudes se plasmaron en algunos importantes escritos para la causa republicana. Pese a ello y paradójicamente,
estos movimientos revolucionarios no conllevaron cambios significativos en la situación y los derechos de las mujeres.
[Abstract]: Migratory movements between both sides of the Atlantic have been highly relevant, both in terms of their numbers and heterogeneity, right from the moment that contact was established. The constant flow of people, as well as of goods and ideas, in the Ocean scenario during the second half of the eighteenth century fostered the strengthening of bonds between English and American republican circles, with some women as notable activists. The English writer Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791), besides writing about the crucial events of the time, crossed the Atlantic with the desire of being there and experiencing everything first hand. Additionally, an intense epistolary exchange, the result of shared interests, kept her in contact with the American writer Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814) for more than twenty years. Despite the restrictions these two women found in fields, such as history and politics, considered chiefly male, their contribution was not just the expected support, but also some important writings in which they expressed their concerns about the republican cause. Notwithstanding all this, and paradoxically, these revolutionary movements did not bring about significant changes in the situation and rights of women.
