چکیده
How is it possible to construct a narrative and a reflection about contemporary Brazilian feminism for an international event that intends to conduct a review of feminist theory and activism on a global level, by bringing together feminist researchers from several countries? Even if it is necessary to contextualize some of the central features of Brazilian feminism, I will also try not to reproduce any division of intellectual work (that we still find in gender and feminist studies), which affirms that in the South (the peripheral countries) we only offer descriptions and experiences, while theories are produced in the North (Europe and the United States).
