Abstract
This study aims to theoretically discuss the importance of analyzing migrations from a gender perspective. Based on one of the most striking features of migrations in the modern age - the feminization of migrations -, we point out the need to reflect and analyze the processes and dynamics underlying female migration and their specific characteristics. This paper examines the contributions of feminist theories to the understanding of women's migrations and the implications of considering migrations a gendered phenomenon. Some recent studies on immigrant women in Portugal were systematized, mapping the most frequently addressed topics and the results achieved.
