  Latin American feminist philosophy is political (Gargallo 2004: 41). The ideas that pushed social transformation in the 20th century movements are grounded in politics that recognized the imperative for social change. The political dimension of Latin American feminist philosophy is reflected in the fact that many Latin American feminist philosophers were or are activists, and the span of their thought often reflects their participation in resistance movements. Resistance can mean many types of political projects, and in the context of Latin American feminist philosophy, the act of citing is understood as political because it works toward building a philosophical canon that legitimizes the voices of women long excluded from philosophical practice.
