Abstract

This article intends to analyze the practices of virtual activism ruled by the virtual community Mujeres en Círculo on Facebook, and understand, from an ethnographic perspective, how the discourses that their members construct help them to be more empowered within the social spaces to where they belong; and also, the way how patriarchal narratives about gender are subverted through the debates they engage in.
