Intersecções entre memória e feminismo

Abstract

Arising in the context of "the age of enlightenment" and transforming ideals from the French/American Revolution and later spreading worldwide, feminism as a social movement is essentially modern and criticizes the existing patriarchal power structure in society, through discussions for social and political rights. It acts in a multiplicity of relationships, building articulations and expanding inboard the world context. Within this perspective, this article intends to go through the historical trajectory of the political dynamics of feminism, reflecting on the intersections of memory as a leader for women's empowerment, strengthening of identity and acquisition of women's rights.
