The article aims to understand how academic research expresses in their productions speeches about the bodies of women said to have intellectual disabilities.To this end, a bibliographic survey was carried out between 2003 and 2020, in the databases of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD-IBICT), in the Bank of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the Cientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) and GT 15 of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education - ANPED. The descriptors used for this search were: intellectual disability, gender, body and sexuality. The methodology used to analyze the data found was limited to temporal organizations, using the same categories listed for the search. As a result of the research, exposed in this article, the absence of research that discusses the relationship between body, gender and sexuality of women considered with intellectual disabilities stands out. It is concluded that the discursive productions reiterated in the innumerable researches on the bodies of women said to have intellectual disabilities indicate that their bodies are disregarded, thus evidencing the invisibility of these women, as well as the reproduction of knowledge that makes them remain disabled bodies.
