Summary:This chapter explores how indigenous women used legal strategies to get appointments as cacicas in the Court on the Audiencia of Quito, during the second half of the 18th century. Despite the fact that the position of chieftain was preserved for men, women used the judicial apparatus to their advantage to claim a family right that could be taken by a female.
El capítulo explora la manera en que las mujeres indígenas usaron estrategias legales para ganar en los tribunales el nombramiento en el cargo de cacica en la Audiencia de Quito, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Pese a que el lugar de cacique estaba preservado para los varones, ellas usaron el aparato judicial a su favor para reclamar un derecho familiar que podía ser tomado por una mujer.
