In this paper we discuss modes of visual representation and selfrepresentation of women in the current expansion of feminist struggles. Our analysis focuses on images of women that circulate on the internet and, especially on the Facebook infocommunication platform. In the different approaches to the observed field we have characterized recurrences and disruptions in the iconographic modalities that constitute political, militant and citizen discourses about and from women. We have also connected these iconographies with feminist struggles that erupted in public spaces with the large mobilizations of women that have challenged social representations and circulated counterhegemonic discourses and new forms of aesthetic and political action and performance. We conclude that the iconographic repertoire analyzed reaches the limits of what is said and heard by the contemporary feminist movement, revealing its will to spread and transform, as well as the situated character of an ethical-political view that alters the dominant stereotypes found until now in the social imaginary.
