We examine the heterogeneous experiences of migrant women aiming to go beyond the risk of homogenization. We focus in Bolivian women who have migrated with or after men to Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina. We analyze the way in which the intersection of different inequalities (gender, class, ethnicity, race constructions, nationality and migratory condition) influences in their migratory trajectories, labor experiences and family life. We also consider the intertwining of other factors such as networks, state control, social and human capital, labor markets, stereotypes, family relationships. We argue that migration itself does not necessarily lead to autonomy.
