FEMINIZATION OF POWER IN POPULAR SPACES: WORK AND SOCIAL RESISTANCE
Abstract
This study aims to give visibility to the performance of women who are (re) known as reference in their communities and / or also named community leaders. Their protagonism took place from the years of 1990 and geopolitically they are located in territories segregated partner spatially, denominated favelas or communities in Rio de Janeiro. These women represent a phenomenon that has grown remarkably and which we can classify as "feminisation of power". Announcing the daily construction of this woman and her place of social and political prominence, the agenda of these characters is committed to social transformation and is shaped by practices and attitudes that advocate coping with the multiple expressions of inequality and social vulnerability that pervades their places of housing. Their agendas transcend the place by accessing the city, the state, the country, in a permanent movement in defense of the citizenship of the inhabitants of their territories and in the affirmation of a democratic and participative society. For these and other reasons we can affirm that the "feminization of power" is, in fact, a movement that emerges in the current scenario, understanding that there is a protagonism of the woman in conditions of subalternity.
