Images beyond borders. The production of knowledge about women’s activism against the colonial wars

Résumé

By focusing on the study of images and other archival sources, this article points out that women’s engagement against the colonial wars of the Portuguese Estado Novo occurred on a scale that largely overcame national state borders. In these movements across the globe, a plural scenario of roles and representations of women emerge. In discussing the connection between methodology and epistemology, the article aims to contribute to the debate on the relationship between the production of knowledge about women and the transnational, feminist and decolonial perspectives.
