Abstract

Women fishers in Brazil have come a long way.The turning point in their recent history was in 1985 when a fishermen’s colônia elected a woman as its president. By 1994, another woman had been elected to head a State federation of colônias. A decade or so later,in 2006, in a move that marked the coming of age of women in the continental and coastal fi sheries, a national-level network, the National Articulation of Fisherwomen in Brazil (ANP),was created.
