Abstract

Women and citizenship: biographical accounts of experiences of violence, inequalities and negotiation of rights is a collective work composed of seven chapters that examine from biographical, gender and intersectional perspectives how different cases of women--trans, indigenous, poor and working women in rural and urban spaces not only construct and negotiate how to exercise their citizenship, their rights and obligations, but also delve into the “subjective and embodied experience of living a ‘second class’ citizenship” (p. 7). (p. 7) That is to say, that despite the fact that examined women have certain rights, they cannot exercise them because their gender and/or sexual identities question the traditional notions of a gender order and the heteronormative system.
