This study aims to recover the trajectories of Piaui female coconut breakers that integrate the Interstate Movement of Babaçu Coconut Breakers (IMBCB), demarcating their daily struggles, forms of resistance and ways of organization and political participation, intersected with gender, race, ethnicity, generation, territory and other issues that have been composing their way of life. These women's trajectories are marked by situations of oppression, spoliation and violence they were subjected to, but they also present remarkable stories of fight and resistance that they weave in everyday life, in a political effervescence context which favored the emergence of the MIQCB. The women's political participation in this movement made it possible to strain the boundaries between public and private, by challenging traditional places that have historically been attributed to women, such as there stricted space of their home.

Palabras clave : coconut breakers; traditional community; genre; intersectionalities; political participation.
