União das Mulheres de Maceió (UMMa): uma abordagem interseccional das lutas das mulheres cisgêneras na abertura Maceió/AL (1970-1980)

Abstract

Throughout the period of the civil-military-cisheteronormative dictatorship (Renan Quinalha, 2017), there were many conflicts between those who claimed democracy and those who supported the dictatorship. In this context, the struggles for rights took place under aspects as diverse as those who carried them out. In the 1970s – 1980s, discussions about the Constituent Assembly and democratic opening made a diversity of subjects emerge on the national scene: women (in this work, with emphasis on cisgender women), LGBTs, blacks, who began to act and resist politically under new forms of organization and mobilization, highlighting issues of gender, class, race and sexuality. Thus, from an intersectional perspective (Carla Akotirene, 2019; Angela Davis, 2016; Kimberlé Crenshaw, 2020), I seek to investigate in this monograph how these issues are performed in the Alagoas scenario, based on the analysis of the performance of cisgender women who constituted The União das Mulheres de Maceió (UMMa).
