Sumari:This article focuses on the daily mobilities of Bolivian and Peruvian women residing in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, who migrated during 1990-2010 to the country. It analyzes the way in which urban borders determine and condition the spatial practices of female migrant population in the destination contexts. From the theoretical contributions of intersectionality and based on a qualitative methodology that combines participant observation, in-depth interviews and mobile methodologies with adult migrant women during 2009-2019, this study suggests that the spatial practices of these women merge restrictions on mobility marked by the existence of urban borders and, at the same time, legitimated circulations through the city under certain conditions. The main argument recognizes that these borders are updated based on a “know how to move” of migrant women that influence the ways of inhabiting the city.
