This article is a reflection that we developed in our Master's Dissertation on Memory, Language and Society - UESB on the condition of women in society, especially regarding gender inequalities. We focus on the struggle of women for the recognition of their rights since Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793), who had her life cut down for fighting for equal rights between men and women to the present day. Thus, we intend to discuss and analyze the effects of changes in women's lives, in a society inheriting patriarchal values and marked by power relations, inequality and violence, as well as future challenges and theoretical contributions, in terms of these inequalities and situations violence still affecting a large number of women, whether in Brazil and / or other countries.
