| description | This text investigates how certain exceptional actions carried out by women in the military sphere during the conquest of America in the 16th century were documented, interpreted, and narrated by witnesses and chroniclers. These accounts were influenced by gender archetypes and stereotypes shaped and influenced by the prevailing social, religious, moral and cultural conventions of that period. The article analyzes some paradigmatic cases from the early Peruvian viceroyalty. This analysis is conducted from a gender perspective that enables the examination of aspects such as female models transferred to the New World and the consideration of the actions of some women in frontier territories, where various factors allowed for, and even demanded, roles far removed from the norms of Early Modern society. |

El texto indaga por la manera en que determinadas actuaciones excepcionales llevadas a cabo por mujeres en el ámbito militar, durante la conquista de América en el siglo xvi fueron recogidas, interpretadas y relatadas, tanto por testigos de las mismas como por los cronistas, en función de los arquetipos y estereotipos de género estructurados/conformados a partir de convenciones sociales religiosas, morales o culturales, entre otras, vigentes en ese periodo. Para ello se analizarán algunos casos paradigmáticos del más temprano virreinato peruano. Todo ello se hará desde una perspectiva de género que posibilite analizar aspectos como los modelos femeninos trasladados al Nuevo Mundo, así como la consideración hacia la actuación de algunas mujeres en los territorios de frontera, donde diversos factores posibilitaron e, incluso, demandaron roles muy alejados de los normativos en la sociedad de la Edad Moderna. Le texte enquêter sur la manière dont certaines actionsexceptionnelles menées par les femmes dans le domainemilitaire, lors de la conquête de l´´ Amérique au XVIe siècle, ont été recueillies, interprétées et rapportées, tant par les témoins que par les chroniqueurs. stéréotypes de genre structurés/configur´és/formés sur la base de conventions sociales, religieuses, morales ou culturelles, entre autres, en vigueur à cette époque. Pour ce faire, nous analyserons quelques cas paradigmatiques de la première vice-royauté péruvienne. Tout cela se fera dans une perspective de genre qui permet d’analyser des aspects tels que les modèles féminins transférés au Nouveau Monde, ainsi que la considération envers les actions de certaines femmes dans les territoires frontaliers, où divers facteurs ont permis et mêmeexigé des rôles très éloignés des rôles normatifs dans la société de l'ère moderne.
