A Social History of Feminism: discussions within a Brazilian political field (1917-1937)

Abstract

This article offers a reflection on the history of Brazilian feminism through the a perspective of the world of labor. The 1930s strikes, the role of the Communist Party and the international feminist networks announced that feminism was a disputed political field since its earliest moments. I argue that these are not exceptional cases: the experience of women can contribute to an interpretation that makes the history of the struggle for labor rights in Brazil more complex.
