At the present time, quilombola women have been standing out in a collective fight for their rights and denouncing racism, sexism and the fight for land undertaken in their trajectories. In the territory of Cruz da Menina, located in the rural area of the municipality of Dona Inês in the state of Paraíba, it is no different, women are the protagonists of collective struggles, from movements for self-recognition as a “quilombo remnant community” to our present time. . Therefore, in this work we investigated the collective trajectories of women from the Quilombola Cruz da Menina Community, specifically from the Silva family nucleus, who are regular participants in the Association of the Community of Remnants of Quilombos Cruz da Menina (ACRQCM) and/or make up the organizational body of the institution as leaders. Through the methodology of Oral History as the art of listening according to Alessandro Portelli (2016), we seek to investigate how quilombola women from Cruz da Menina have been fighting in contemporary times for the rights historically denied to the black population. With this, we have the year 2005 as a time frame, which marks the beginning of female mobilizations in the construction of quilombola identity until the present moment. That said, this research approaches the field of study of Women's Stories, through a black feminist point of view (COLLINS, 2019), where our interlocutors will be the central axis of the analyzes permeated by the theoretical apparatus of intersectionality (Akotirene, 2019) .
