This article explores the conflicts arising from heteronormativity through the corporeality of rural women and territorial tensions that shape, through perceptions, marks and sensations, their bodies. The methodological approach is part of the ethnographic doctoral research work with groups of rural women in Olmué and El Yuyo, and also with institutions, and social organizations in the Aconcagua Valley. The techniques used were life histories, participant observation and in-depth interviews. The partial findings allow us to establish the importance of the body as a place from which the experience of women is recorded. The major oppressions on women's bodies are closely related to: linkage to resources, heteronormativity, use of resources and rural habitability.
