The social interaction among genders has being historically modified because it is a relational system which varies according to the social, economic or cultural aspects of each concrete time and space. One of the unusual and singular territories where gender relationships are exceptionally horizontal, can be found in the Zapotecan indigenous town ofJuchitan, located in the Tehuantepec Isthmus (Mexico), where some authors have end up affirming that a modern matriarchal system exists. This paper placed under gender and ethnic Latin American movements thematic, is sought to meditate on the determinant causes of why woman are a constitutional part of a social movement which has generated great and significant transformations among the Juchitecan society.
