This book, organized by Manuela D’Ávila, compiles a series of testimonies and reflections from women who have experienced political gender-based violence in Brazil. Featuring contributions from prominent figures such as Dilma Rousseff, Maria do Rosário, and Anielle Franco, it explores the intersection of sexism, racism, and structural inequality in shaping the experiences of women in public and political spaces. Through personal narratives and critical analysis, the book highlights the systematic challenges faced by women, including media manipulation, harassment, and threats, as they navigate leadership roles. It aims to raise awareness, foster solidarity, and advocate for the dismantling of patriarchal and oppressive systems. The intended audience includes scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in gender studies and social justice. |
