The objective of the research is to propose a critique of the universalist and objectivist logic linked to research in Law, based on feminist epistemological studies. It starts from the following research problem: what is the importance of having an epistemological opening in the field of the production of scientific knowledge of Law, so that it encompasses localized, gender, and feminist issues? Methodologically, two-step research will be carried out. In the first, bibliographical quantitative and qualitative research on Brazilian feminist epistemology will be carried out. In the second stage, the importance of feminist epistemology for the field of law will be argued. The research contributes to the field of Law by presenting a discussion that is still incipient in Brazil, mainly concerning legal knowledge.
