Abstract
In this paper, the normative framework of the feminist proposal for non-violence will be presented, given its peacemaker history along with its opposition to wars and conflicts, combined with the patriarchal sense behind them. This way, one can reclaim a crucial veto from the feminist movement that had been stifled. Inspired by the Greek origins and Aristophanes’ identification of women and hostility to warlike violence, this will be a journey through the opposition of several suffragists and socialist feminists to the world wars, the foundation of WILPF, to the ecofeminist and peacemaker activism, which emerged in the 1980s, against the nuclear barbarism. Finally, there will be a special reference to the correlation bodies-territories in the outbreak of native feminisms in the past years: a fragmented tradition opposed to violence that the world needs to reclaim in order to strengthen the feminist utopia.
