MENDONCA JUNIOR, Francisco Carlos Guerra de. The Heroine Woman in the fight against patriarch in Mozambique. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, e69909.  Epub 01-Maio-2021. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n269909.

This article has the goal of analysing the song "Mulher Heroína" by Iveth Mafundza, rapper, lawyer and law teacher. The Mozambican artist denounces the gender inequality that is present in many socioeconomic and cultural aspects in her country, like education, access to employment, blaming women for illness, lobolo and genital mutilation. The complaints presented in the lyric are compared to rap and feminist theorists, with emphasis on authoresses who study the social reality of Mozambican women. Statistical data presented by the 2017 country census and the 2015 UN Women report assist in this analysis. The methodology also includes discourse analysis of the lyric “Mulher Heroína” and semi-structured interviews. The article also traces a history about the performance of Mozambican women rappers, presenting the pioneers and the most recent works of feminist Mozambican rap.
