FEMINISM AND ITS HIDDEN VOICES

This research has the general objective of identifying in the literature the history of the feminist movement and the stories that were not told during the movement. The specific objective of this study is to analyze in the literature the challenges of black women within the feminist movement of the time, due to the fact that they are not accepted by white upper middle-class feminists. A bibliographic review study was applied to the book's databases: Can the subordinate speak? (ALMEIDA, 2014), Feminism, (JENAINATI e GROVES, 2020), What is a place of speech. (RIBEIRO, 2017). The research was carried out in the period of February 2021. Using the descriptors and the crossing of the keywords to facilitate the search for the data. The research went through three stages: 1- reading the titles, 2- reading the abstracts of the texts, 3- reading in full. Data analysis was done through file. The study identified that the feminist movement did not meet the needs of black women, thus, they had no voice within the movement because they were not considered important to the movement.
