Keywords:

Abstract
This work is approaching to a historically recent social phenomenon: the hipersexualization of women. It looks into its origins and finds that the idea of the sexual freedom that is developed in the 60s, on one side, and the exaltation of the free market, which was developed from the 80s, on the other, come together in the goal of overloading women sexuality. The context in which this process takes place is a free and unlimited market which has understood that women`s bodies are a commodity from which are extracted necessaries appreciations for the social reproduction of contemporary patriarchy and neoliberal capitalism.Downloads
