AbstractWomen were present in the protests throughout the contemporary era, although it was difficult until the twentieth century to discern the concrete role they had in public revolts or contestation. Some studies have shown that they played an active role in the food riots of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Europe. Often, it was the women who set off the riots, spontaneously, though, almost always, the men were finishing them. So also occurred in the greatest popular revolt that happened in Portugal, in 1846, the "Maria da Fonte". In the name of this revolt are embodied all the anonymous women who throughout history had the courage to manifest, whether for subsistence, religious, political or social. In the 1960s, in the twentieth century, feminists organized a set of collective actions that ran away from traditional class struggles, closely linked to the workers' movement and Marxism. Women acted collectively and joined other "minorities" as students and blacks, had cultural, identity, gender concerns, hence their public manifestations were integrated into what sociologists have called new social movements. As Touraine argued, cultural rights overlapped with economic, political and social rights, but did not eliminate them (2006). Feminist social movements have achieved some social and political benefits for women, while raising public awareness of their cause. The World March for Women, which began in the year 2000, continues to manifest itself as an example. It seeks to give visibility to issues of gender, sexuality and diversity. In a Europe that struggles for equality and social justice, women still seek recognition, as Fraser (2001) points out, which leads us to research in this article the actual achievements of women through public protest.
