Abstract

This text presents a reflection on some methodological and epistemological assumptions of the feminist theology in dialogue with gender justice; following some suspicions in the field of biblical interpretation. To enter in hermeneutic reflections, my proposal is first to trace a path that develops the feminist theological reflection in the public and political arena. In this public way, some epistemological markers are placed in interaction with human rights, with the movement of empowering women and building gender justice policies.
