This research, based on bibliographical and documentary approaches, aimed to recover the trajectory and memory of gender studies centers and groups belonging to REDOR, a feminist network of gender and women studies centers in the North and Northeast of Brazil. Data collection included: background and institutional location; profile and academic field of members; research, extension and training projects developed; impact on institucional policies; partnerships and social impact. Initially, we highlight the significance of the creation of these gender research centers and network, which emerged in order to legitimate a new field of knowledge. Next, we present the data that was possible to collect about 35 centers and groups. We conclude that REDOR is very important for the regions, insofar as it promotes the exchance of knowledge, in the context of the struggle for gender equity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
