GARGALLO CELENTANI, Francesca. On a Truly Our-American Feminism. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.1, pp.13-18. ISSN 1851-9490.

During the 19th century feminism was an attempt to understand the lack of equality and to defend the right of the individual-within-society to it. Though contemporary feminism does not focus on emancipative claims of equality regarding a citizen model, the idea of women as individuals in need of liberation is still the background of every feminist action. There is no questioning that women's liberation, in as much as they are women, is an every woman's task. Nevertheless, the question remains as for this liberation having only an individual side and the perspective of individual's liberation being universal. This needs a clear statement regarding the starting point and the intention to work with a feminist approach on a concept of world that has been questioned in political reflection and epistemology fields.

Keywords : Feminism; Feminist Collective; Feminist Resistance; Our-American Feminism.
