Suggests thinking it from two perspectives: that of the State authoritarianism and exiled memory. Talks about their experiences; the strategies mobilized; the persecuted; the insertion in another State; the worldviews and Brazil; and the condition of woman. The methodology brings the writing of a collective story, de-personalized, featuring points of convergence and divergence between the paths. The memories indicate that exile experienced by these women was marked by sex/gender relations, identity and political definitions reconversions
