Description
Summary:This work aims to integrate theoretical elements that understand the process of knowledge beyond the situated subjects and where relationships of social inequality can generate experiences misunderstood by the agents involved. In this context, it is proposed that women be integrated and recognized as epistemic agents in the processes of knowledge in conditions of equality concerning the dominant groups, free of prejudice. The article is thus constituted by three sections, in addition to an introduction and final reflections. We begin with a description of the basic concepts that will allow us to focus and analyze the assumptions about justice and feminist epistemologies. Subsequently, we incorporate Miranda Fricker's proposal into the discussion, in particular the notion of epistemic injustice and its relationship with women's production of knowledge. Finally, we return to the concepts of community and epistemic equity, as theoretical tools for solving the problem to recognize women as agents of knowledge in terms of equity, for this we expose the example of Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze-Lavoisier.
