Abstract

Interests us here identify contributions these categories have to think about the subjects of feminism and feminist political action. To this end, we propose a brief resume of the historical notion of gender in feminism and analyze the thought of three authors – Gloria Anzaldúa, Monique Wittig and Ochy Curiel – who to include in their analysis of women and society the perspective of colonialism, racism and straight political, sought to clarify the boundaries of the gender, among them, their normative purposes indicates the need for politicizing of feminism.
