The present study talks about contemporary feminism and the implementation of public policies for women on gender perspective and strengthening of the struggle for human emancipation. It presents aspects of discussion on feminism in its various expressions, making explicit guidelines conceptions and reflections concerning the current phase of the feminist movement. It aims to rescue elements of the debate on the epistemological and methodological-theoretical trends, as well as the performance and struggles of the feminist movement and its fundamentals. From the understanding of public policies as historical, social and political process, it detaches the relevant role of that movement as a subject in the formulation and implementation of public policies for women. It is briefly discussed the establishment of executive organisms, the implementation of the conferences and the preparation of policy and political plans for women in Brazil, questioning them and asking about fights and building strategies towards the female and human emancipation.
