Summary: This dissertation focuses on the role of the Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas (MMC), or Peasant Women’s Movement, and its implications in contemporary agrarian society. Firstly, the MMC’s practices and aims were analysed from the standpoint of the group’s historical formation, members, and demands. An assessment was made of the way the group first came into contact with the agrarian issue that was being debated during the 1960s and 1970s, a period which served as the background for its strategy development. The MMC’s characteristic feminism, the specificities of its members, and its demands for agroecology, creole seeds, and food sovereignty were also addressed, to show how the organization’s actions were construed. Secondly, the moral economy of protests, recognition theory, and public activism are used to demonstrate its strategic struggle. Lastly, this study sheds light on the group’s specific role in Goiás state, Brazil, analysing the identities of peasant women and the popular peasant feminism they posit.
