HELEIETH SAFFIOTI IN THE FEMINIST THEORIZATION COMMITMENT: between academia, feminist movement and non-governmental organizations (ONGs)

This interview aims to understand Heleieth Saffioti’s commitment to feminist theorization through the analysis of the influence of this author for the university, feminist movement and non-governmental organizations (ONGs). To meet the objective set, we paid a visit to the trajectory of the Brazilian feminist intellectual Betânia Ávila, as the exile in France in the 1970s and the creation of SOS Corpo – Feminist Institute for Democracy. Heleieth Safiotti marked Betânia Ávila’s feminist theories from the beginning, in particular the debates and concepts about domestic work, patriarchy and feminist praxis.
