My work in gender and social movements explores how Chilean feminism has been mobilised through the relation with institutional politics. I look at how feminists activists and autonomous feminists organisations draw upon when constructing their life stories, how they produce agreements within organisation, and how their goals and demands can be translated in radical and revolutionary changes.
