LAGUNA, Fernanda  and  PALMEIRO, Cecilia. Notes for a feminist memory: towards a literature of us. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.1, pp.104-126. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.006.

Since 2015, with the emergence of the Ni Una Menos (Not One Woman Less) in Argentina, feminisms around the world are experiencing an unprecedented process of popularization, that permeate every aspect of human life. In a wave of demonstrations of hundreds of thousands and even millions, gendered and feminized bodies started occupying the streets around the world to reclaim the end of violence against us, creating a transversal, horizontal and intersectional movement able to confront neoliberalism. We call this movement the global feminist tide.

This paper analyzes the forms in which we can apprehend this experience in the sense of making the feminist history of the present, based on the creation of our living-archive “High on the Tide: Diary of a Feminist Revolution”. Here we propose seven provisory theses on contemporary feminist memory or herstory of the feminist tide as we outline a theory on collective writing.

Keywords : Herstory; Collective memory; Feminist archive; Ni una menos; Feminist tide.
