This article wants to make a rereading of the category kénosis in perspective of woman, pointing out some countercultural elements that Paul presents to the Philippians as an alternative proposal to the Greco-Roman world. It will try to establish from the social and cultural aspect, how the role of women has been understood. We reread the text from the collective mentality of the time, honor and shame as values, which allow us to grasp the challenge presented by kénosis to its recipients and to us in everyday life.
