On 1 December 1971, 50,000-200,000 women took to the streets of Santiago to protest against Salvador Allende’s ''Unidad Popular'' government. Their peaceful march turns ugly when leftists attacked the women with rocks. However, their ''Marcha de las Cacerolas Vacías'' (March of the Empty Pots) signaled the beginning of a massive coordinated anti-Allende movement. To keep the memory alive of the march, women in the middle-class and affluent suburbs of Santiago banged on pots every night for two hours for several months.
