| Summary: | Through a brief comparative analysis, this study aims to present the work Paixão Pagu: A autobiografia precoce de Patrícia Galvão (2005), by the Brazilian author Patrícia Galvão - better known as Pagu -, and the work Mi Vida: Cartas de Amor a Siqueiros (2004), by the Uruguayan author Blanca Luz Brum. The goal of this paper is to argue how the experiences expressed in both works mentioned can be understood as revolutionary and feminist practices. The purpose here is to investigate how these self-literatures contribute to the development of critical social thinking and feminist struggles in the context of Latin America. Pagu and Blanca, prominent militants of the early 20th century, subverted the naturalization of the domesticity of women in their lives and in their literatures, in addition to becoming important representatives of the historical struggle for the insertion of Latin American women in the spaces of political activity.
