description This article analyzes the memoirs of some women that have been incarcerated during military dictatorship in Brazil by means of their narratives obtained in interviews and testimonials in order to understand which ways that they found to resist what they lived at that time, not allowing that the terror imposed by the repressive apparatus paralyzed them. It also aims to assay how the attitude of talk about what happened is a way to structure their subjectivity and seek an identity. These women had and still have their lives and intimacy exposed to the public, as well as learned to care for others and to create relations of solidarity within the prisons, which helped them to survive. Therefore, as survivors they need to have their places and stories treated by historiography for the purpose of being remembered as an important part of the resistance fight in the period.
