Abstract

The second half of the forties was characterized by massive social events which directly influenced the creation of afro-Brazilian social movement, as well as the foundation of new groups. This new environment was occupied by the presence of relevant afro-Brazilian women. This paper intends to analyze thoughts of three expressive afro-Brazilian women leaders and their demands related to the intersection between gender and race as an attempt to overcome the inequalities  which characterized  that conjuncture: Maria L. Nascimento from  the  Congresso Nacional de Mulheres Negras (RJ, 1950); Nair Theodora Araújo from the Associação Cultural do Negro (SP, 1948) and Antonieta de Barros,  state representative (Florianópolis,1951).
