This paper invites to go through the ways in which feminism has beenhistorized, to observe the dispersed and discontinuous contributions ofLatin American feminism as political theory and practical philosophy.With women located in the South, it is possible to see the unruly pathsof women/feminist movement in Latin America, in that vague edge presentedby the relations between academic/activism, institutional/autonomous,gender/militant techniques, places of inquiry in which Disobedientwomen have developed altering epistemologies. What have been thepaths made by the feminist theorists of Our America? How are these newbeginnings plotted? Our precariousness, our conditions have been thesame? What struggles have we echoed? How do modernity/illustration/emancipation couple in our coordinates? Subaltern and marginalized inthe same oppressions? What women in which territories? What followsin this article is just a map to recognize traces in the territory -as a stateof affairs- and to have a network of meanings and categories configuringthe theory field for Southern feminisms
