In this chapter, we are interested in reviewing the contributions of LatinAmerican feminist perspectives to IR field in order to bring their voices and perspectives into broader debates and approaches. We intend to deepen the epistemological review that drove feminism within IR thinking about the emergence of new forms of knowledge construction emerging from the GlobalSouth. In dialogue although not always in coincidence with postcolonial theory, Latin American feminism has made important contributions to the construction of IR and a GIR project. First, we will present a periodization of traditional feminist theorization, rescuing its influence on IR discipline as well as in the Latin American political field. Second, we will present some contributions for this discussion, coming from postcolonial theory and decolonial theory. Mainly, we will focus at the epistemological and political proposal of intersectionality and the multidisciplinary perspective.
