    Annotation:

    In 1931, English writer Rosita Forbes travels to South America and visits,  besides  other  countries,  the  Argentinian  Republic.  The account  of  this travel, Eight republics in search of a future, gathers her impressions on political, economical and social aspects of the visited countries. In this article, I will analyze her observations on the relations between men and women in the city of Buenos Aires: according to Forbes, Buenos Aires belongs to men. Whereas they seem to dominate public spaces, women only find protection from street harassment in the private sphere, she argues. I consider that her travelogue provides an original lens for the study of sexual difference in a period poorly represented in travel literature on Argentina.
