In the collection “Portraits on Singleness and Challenges for Feminisms”, it is intended to gather articles, essays and research reports from the various fields of knowledge on practices, discourses and representations that analyze the different ways in which singleness is experienced by men and women, as well as represented in the media, in the literature, from a feminist and gender perspectives. We are calling singleness as a condition or situation of being single. It has gained space in studies for reflecting a context of social changes, values, gender relations, among others, and expresses ruptures in the ways of living in a contemporary urban context, and in the way that unmarriage women are represented. This collection of papers intends to give visibility to studies on singleness and to discuss the theoretical and methodological challenges for feminism studies in what concerns the construction of analysis strategies on the phenomenon and the repercussions of the feminist struggles in the adoption of modes of being and living outside the standards and heteronorms, especially for women.
