NETWORKED FEMINISM: THE ONLINE AND OFFLINE MILITANCY OF THREE YOUNG FEMALE TEACHERSABSTRACT:
The article investigates the militant practices of three young female teachers, active in multiple agendas and who use social media as a venue of resistance. Data were collected from a netnography carried out on these teachers' Facebook networks, followed by an interview. We submitted an ethical-political study, based on the concept of ethics by Michel Foucault. We understand that the teachers recognize their moral obligation to resist and defend, responding to a specific type of feminism, a networked feminism, which is based on alliances with other struggles. The teachers seem to bring tension to the school and its curriculum with themes and agendas of resistance and militancy, which generates debates. In addition, we identified a militant experience shaped by practices that rely on the transforming power of the small constraints and tensions produced in social networks and in life styles, and that are exposing attempts to degrade truths that are hard to be destabilized.

I just feel the anger of the innocent and the indignation of those who don't lose the courage to transform all of this.
