摘要:This article takes as a starting point the following question: In what ways do imprisoned women in the city of Bagé tell their life stories, and also under what conditions do these same stories are intertwined? The main goal is to give a voice to these women who have been deprived of liberty so that they may discuss the social and cultural conditions that are incorporated into the life stories of these detainees. The methodological road map started with autobiographies that were written in notebooks by the detainees themselves; afterwards, these were read and analyzed. Our intention was to give them a voice through individual writings, taking into account the fact that writing is one of the ways that allows people to reflect on their own lives. Gender issues are present throughout the discussion, as women seem to be subjected to the domination of the “male world”, which is translated into relationships of violence established by men, by affective abandonment, by financial troubles and by the fact that women prisoners are in prison mostly because they are led to trafficking by male figures.
