Abstract
This article is part of a larger investigation aimed at interpreting the testimonies of Latin American political prison of women from feminist theory in order to establish new parameters for the understanding and shaping of women in history as an active political and social subject. In this case, the testimony of the Brazilian Maria Americlia de Almeida will be analysed, meaning this text as a valid expression of a borderline experience, built on the basis of the exchange of subjective experiences that will reassert women as a political subject in a context of chairmanship, violence and transgression. Thus, this survivor will explain how gender, being a social structure, builds unequal relations and legitimises differences not only in the political participation of the party itself, but also, and above all, in the repression suffered, focusing on how the psychological dimension of sexual torture also has a particular gender character.
