Nor “ladys” neither “asking for”. Refusing to be called victims
Abstract
Assuming the condition of the victim, said the philosopher Santiago Alba Rico, is not the best way to be a complete political subject. In fact this condition is not the way to reach a fair society. We agree, that’s why in this article we want to go through all those female activists that yelled their rights and did not become victims at all, those who fight for their rights and were even arrested. With the starting point of the French Revolution where the “Ladies petition” was written by some anonymous females to the Pussy Riots. We go through the suffragettes with the leadership of Emmeline Pankhurts Goulden, then the female Black Panthers, with Angela Davis, and the female Brown Berets, with Gloria Arellanes, the Riot Grrrl and last but not least Pussy Riots and the Guerrilla Girls. Before starting our historical trip through this speaks out warriors we remember that it was also in the French Revolution when the perils of eloquence were most active. In fact all those women who used publicly their public reason were guillotined. That’s why at the end of the article we ask ourselves if there is no other way to do so. And we answer, no, there is no other way.Downloads
