Margarita

Abstract

The concept of ‘moral referent’ speaks of the people whose coherence – the virtuous relationship between discourse and action – turns them into true embodiments of a thought or idea. During her lifetime, the architect Margarita Pisano became the moral referent of feminism in Chile. The changes in her life, permanently linked to actual architectural spaces but always tending towards feminist activism, are brilliantly narrated in this text.
