Abstract

This paper seeks to demonstrate the relationship between women’s rights and the social history of human rights. It presents the reading on the dynamics established in the fight for human rights, from the point of view of the concepts that base them and the concrete reality that materializes them in national societies, pointing out the  forces that drive their discussions and the incipient materialization of justice. Then, it analyses the trajectory of women’s rights, seeking to place the commitments to their implementation in the Brazilian society, given the  difficulties of their implementation. Such rights express  contradictions, views and understandings of the world and, therefore, constitute themselves in possibilities of aggregation of efforts in social, cultural, political and economic struggles of working classes in their searches for emancipation.
