African women's trajectories and the Casa dos Estudantes do Império

Jessica Falconi

Summary: This article compares the trajectories of different women who were members of the Casa dos Estudantes do Imperio (CEI), a formal institution created by Portuguese colonial students in Lisbon in 1944 and played a significant role in the political and social paths of African national liberation movement leaders. However, historical research has mainly focused on male narratives, leaving the roles and lives of women in relation to CEI largely unexplored. By approaching these trajectories from a transnational and Afro-Iberian perspective and analyzing multiple sources, this article aims to reflect on the diversity of gender, race, class, and political ideology.
