Sumario:The history of repression during the Brazilian dictatorship eliminated gender relations. Female political activists dared to participate in a masculine public space. In the eyes of the repression, activist women committed to sins: to question the military coup and to occupy a social space destined only to men. Even the left-wing organizations do not propitiated discussion about the relations between masculine/feminine, because there was a more important  contradiction to be resolved, that of bourgeoisie and proletariat. And this reinforced the masculine power inside those organizations. The repression always aimed women’s body, not only to torture them but also to humiliate them. Characterizing activist women as “the communist whore”, the repression tried to confine women to a private and domestic space.
