| Sumario: | Given the conditions of inequality and violence that popular women experience in Latin America, there are multiple forms of collective women's actions that face oppression and that are defined according to what affects their bodies and territories. Popular women, urban and rural, have engaged in a series of social movements and movements, whether mixed or exclusively by women. However, its role in the political struggle is often made invisible. Sometimes, even in the set of guidelines understood as feminists. With this in mind, we pose the following question: How can we broaden our vision as militant and theorists in order to embrace a greater diversity of women and feminist agendas in what we define as the 'struggle of women and feminism in our continent from life and struggle popular women? To this end, we conducted a brief retelling of the history of the struggles of women from the popular classes in the Latin American context, paying special attention to their articulations around the “sustainability of life”. At the end, we incorporated some notes on the impact and confrontation of the Covid-19 pandemic on the lives of popular women, with an emphasis on the Brazilian context of rural women and on the reconfigurations or strengthening of established solidarity networks. The guiding thread of the dialogue is the reflection on the theoretical-political-epistemic contributions given by the struggle praxis of popular women to the struggle of women and feminists in Latin America. |
