History has always been written and told from the point of view of men. There is little evidence of an oral or written history told by the women. Even the term “story” illustrates that it is his story that is told from his point of view. What happens when women start writing and telling their stories? It no longer becomes “story”, but “her story” where she tells her life experiences through her point of view. Women began using different forms and methods of written and oral techniques to get their stories heard. Eulalia Perez and Teresa De La Guerra are two examples of women who created their human action and political position by making their voices heard. I will explain how the testimonies of Perez and De La Guerra give them human and political agency in telling their stories. Testimonies are a great way to recover memory and express thoughts and feelings in difficult and easy times. In Latina Feminist Group's Papelitos Guardados: Theorizing Latinidades Through Testmonio, they explain how papelitos guardados are hidden stories that have been written and stored in secret places ready to be revealed (Latina Feminist Group, 1). These papelitos guardados offer these women the opportunity to reflect and remember their experiences by telling their testimonies. The testimonies help to go back into his memory and tell the story he wants to tell based on the memories he remembers. The testimonies serve as a reminder that not everyone has the same story or has had the same experiences as others. For example, the Latina Feminist Group expresses, “At first, we mistakenly thought we knew each other simply because we were Latina scholars and writers” (10). The passage explains that ...... middle of paper ...... story of ...... can be seen as political because she takes control of how her father will stay in memories. Perez and De La Guerra became historians. the moment they decided they wanted to tell their stories. Their testimonies allow them to establish their role in history by telling counter-stories to the history told by the men. Having women like Perez and De La Guerra share their stories strengthens and gives women a collective identity because it allows other women to open up and tell their stories. By addressing these issues through testimonial work, it is easier to address and discuss the lack of women's participation in history, and it helps give women a voice. De La Guerra and Perez are two examples of how women are taking control of their history and acting like many others to express their role in history..
