Women and political participations (Brazil, 1964)

Abstract

The article is the narrative of the protagonism of the militant women in the opposition to the coup and the military dictatorship implanted, since 1964, in Brazil, from diverse political initiatives, including in opposition to the actions of the militant coup, based on the Marxist approach of gender and in decolonial feminism. From the articulations between their intimate and public lives, excerpts from their biographies and insertions in leftist parties and social movements, it seeks to highlight the historical, dialectical and material relations of the intersectionality of the social-sex in the process of class struggle, understanding the history of these women active in Recife as a micro-universe interfering and revealing the national and Latin American macrostructure, within the broader movement of opposition to neocolonization policies guided by international capitalism and organized by imperialist countries. This narrative is based on the perception of the sociocultural construction of the subject revealing the political-economic structure of resistance to the state of exception, while at the same time emphasizing that the search for the psychological origins of actions in the narrated historical events is not the guiding principle of the analysis, agreeing that human complexity, dialectically observed, objectively results in history, any subjective allusion without foundation in praxis being contestable.
