This research deals with appropriations of the urban space of Goiânia, GO, by women who take or took part in local feminist groups or movements. The work aims at understanding different processes of appropriation, production and qualification of urban spaces by women militants, whether black or white, lesbian, heterosexual or bisexual, young or old, scholastic or not, dwelling in the suburbs or not, and from several social classes. The chosen methodology makes use of feminist leadership narratives, by means of semi-structured interviews and participatory mapping techniques. The theoretical assumptions are based on readings about intersectionality, difference and Feminist Geography. It was noted that, in spite of the fear of being on the streets, the women occupy this space collectively through different actions. The feminist activity on these places happens based on their experiences between them, by which they constitute themselves as feminists and, at the same time, shaping various feminisms. Amid a number of limitations, in a relation with and between the spaces of the city, the women create and recreate them. There is a constitution of a mosaic of spacial representations, achieved by mapping the spacializations noted in the narratives, such as the headquarters of the entities, places of occupation, leisure, meeting, demonstration, and of the trajectory of militancy itself. This mosaic is a means of noting and raising issues related to gender, race, class and sexuality. The different identities of feminists and of the groups that they take part on are reflected in the localization and in the ways of site occupation. For instance, the lesbian women are the ones that occupy the most of places located in the city center for militant leisure, and the black feminists are the ones who appropriate peripheral sites. We noted that women, when occupying and performing actions in the urban space, take into account the logic of organization of the city in politic-administrative regions, as well as the differentiations between center and suburbs. The ways of feminist occupations are different in each region of Goiânia. The mapping allowed us to make their interventions stand out, each on its own expression in the city. Lastly, it is possible to think about an intersectional approach and the difference of space to understand, by means of their collective actions, that women intervene in various ways on the process of urban framing.
