| Summary: | This study seeks to explore the material and symbolic resources through which women in public office and popular election in the city of Cuenca have forged a political subjectivity about feminism as their framework for identity and political action, and have fostered an agenda for women's rights.
Within the objectives, the life trajectories and political participation of the three women interviewed were analyzed, and how feminism has marked the difference in their political actions.
The methodology used is qualitative research through interviews of their life histories, emphasizing the experiences that form political subjectivity, investigating the referents of their political actions, their trajectories, their links with political parties, the positions of local representation, and the lines of struggle that direct their agendas.
In summary, the material and symbolic resources of the three women researched have been examined, and how they have traced their path and the construction of feminist political subjectivity as a possibility of resistance to multiple forms of subordination. The three trajectories narrated and analyzed here tell us how women respond to the power relations that we live in school, university, work, family, and political militancy in diverse ways. Sometimes renegotiating the fields of power, other times, breaking with power from autonomy in everyday practices that seem insignificant, but that for us mean true processes of liberation.
