Abstract

The present study aims to reflect on the trajectory of the Feminist Movement, debating the issues raised by this movement, and the need to realize these struggles as universal, since the issues introduced by the Feminist Movement concern the whole society. Thus the debate on Intercultureity presents important contributions to rethink the universality as a point that should be constantly reviewed, in order to avoid the risk of solidifying principles, making them homogeneous and distant from cultural understanding, and the meanings constructed from women’s experiences.

Key words: feminist movements, universality, philosophy, interculturality.
