The Macua myth of origin and matrilineality connects sexual relations and economic exchange between women and men. The aim of this article is to analyze continuities in conceptions of sexuality and agency by Macua women through the myth. This work is based on ethnographic research conducted by the first author over 12 months (2018-2019). The results show an update of this myth to the Macua reality, submerged in the global economy, which serves as an instrument to redefine and renegotiate gender relations.
