Abstract

This article concerns the problem of gender in capitalist society. Through a historic treatment of this issue, it presents the feminist movement as the central political subject in the search for equality in gender relations. It discusses the limits and possibilities that can be identified in this process of constantly renovated struggle, conquests and challenges. It understands that gender equality needs to be considered in relation to all other social relations, and all of the subjects affected by the offensive of capital, whose basic principal is inequality.
