Abstract

In this article, which resulted from a theoretical-critical study, three questions that demarcate the praxis of feminism as a political subject in the broader field of Marx’s ideas are pointed. The first one is the feminist insignia from the personal as a politician; the second one is the evidence of inequalities in the sexual and political division of labor; and finally, the denunciation of the control of the female body as a tool of systemic domination. The text dialogues with the feminism history as a social movement inserted in the dynamics of the class struggle that develops actions of structural-symbolic rupture with the social inequalities expressed in the triad patriarchy, racism and capitalism. It guarantees a characterization of total collective to the feminism, when in specific situations it manages to articulate the diversity of women's experiences around common political objectives.
