ABSTRACT
“Brazilian feminist thought: constitution and context” was organized by Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, with the intention of offering references and repertoires for the current generation of researchers and activists identified with feminist research and struggle. Adding up to a series of other books, that she wrote, in which national and international debates - historical and emergent - are mapped out, bringing together the dialogues and efforts to legitimize studies on women and their epistemological dimension. In this text we will present some aspects of the book, emphasizing how the author’s choices are justified and interrupted by the (self) formation environment that characterizes her encounter and action in the face of the development and diffusion of the feminist thought.
