This book is the result of the project “Rewriting Judicial De-cisions from Feminist Perspectives in Brazil,” under development since August 2021. It represents a collaborative endeavor involving professors, researchers, and law students from various higher education institutions across all five regions of Brazil, belonging to both public and private in-stitutions. What brought them together was their desire and commitment to rewrite judicial decisions handed down by Brazilian courts using fem-inist and anti-racist theoretical approaches and legal methods. This proposal follows a set of current initiatives for over a decade in other countries under the title “Feminist Judg1ments Projects - FJPs”. The pioneering experience was conceived by a group of Canadian ac-ademics, lawyers, and feminist activists in 2006. Their intention was to show that the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada could have been legitimately written differently and that feminist judgments could stand alongside the original judgments, or even surpass them in persua-siveness (KOSHAN, 2018). They rewrote six significant cases in the history of Canadian precedents on equal rights, and the effort resulted in the production of material that has functioned as a set of parallel le-gal theories on equality rights that can be used in the argumentation of Canadian Court members in actual cases (RÉAUME, 2018).
