Abstract

All discriminatory practices against women are linked to physical, psychological and/or symbolic violence. Throughout the twentieth century women have shown their disagreement in front of these situations and their disconformity has been channeled through the feminist movements. Today feminism is a multifaceted and plural reality, marked by a critique of dualisms (mind/body, nature/culture, man/woman, etc.) and the affirmation of a correspondence between all forms of oppression (sexism, racism, social oppression and the control of nature…), together with the feeling of having to survive in a patriarchal context defined by life-threatening conditions. This issue of MUSAS discusses all these topics dealing with the oppression and violence against women.
