ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a brief overview of feminist hip hop scholarship as well as hip hop feminism in Latin America before exploring three of the Somos Mujeres Somos Hip Hop rappers' personal interpretations. While Rebeca Lane of Guatemala focuses on violence against women, Audry Funk's message empowers women via self-acceptance. Somos Mujeres Somos Hip Hop represents the significance of a feminist hip hop practice in Latin America, based on women working together and on collaborative artistic partice. They support a significant challenge to narrow conceptualizations of the hip hop subject as Black and male, and ask to think carefully about how hip hop feminists and scholars based outside the US incorporate the lived experiences of women south of the border. A collaboration of thirteen femcees "Femcees, Flow Feminista" was produced in 2014 and financed through crowdfunding with the purpose to support "grupos y redes de mujeres feministas y defensoras de los Derechos Humanos del Estado español, Latinoamérica y el Caribe".
