The present work arose from the need to understand the challenges faced by graffiti artist who is a woman. Understanding graffiti as one of the four elements that configure Hip-Hop and a field of artistic performance and intervention mostly occupied by men, exploring graffiti from the female point of view became a relevant subject both personally and essential for the field of Art, so that women can be given visibility. This work was divided into three chapters, that are the “memorial”, in which I report on the experiences that took me to the graffiti world until the moment of this research; the “methodology”, excerpt in which I present the different paths I carried out in this research and the chapter which was constituted by the theoretical framework. The research investigated concepts about the art of graffiti, the history of female graffiti, the world-renowned women graffiti artists and national ones, the challenges of the female artist, and the importance of graffiti in feminist militancy. The research results indicate that a deeper understanding of the history female graffiti legitimizes and registers the presence and resistance of women artists in the social scene and in the public space, as well as stimulating the debate on the women’s role in contemporary society.
