Sumario:Studies on women and politics in Brazil have emphasized the development of the Beijing Platform for Action, which in 1995 defined women’s guarantee of power as one of the priorities. The platform approved at the IV World Conference on Women has been one of the norms for the feminist movements to charge from the national states public policies that balance the gender relations. In Brazil, the underrepresentation of women in formal politics has revealed that patriarchy reproduces very directly in party bodies and in legislative institutions, a fact evidenced in the impeachment process of former president Dilma Rousseff. Although Brazil is one of the first countries to grant women the right to vote, they remain underrepresented in power spaces. The difficulties they face in gaining full citizenship are numerous. The electoral results presented in this study denote the distance to achieve parity in politics. The challenges posed by the feminist movement run into institutionalized male power and its unwillingness to share and share power to build a society of equals.
