Abstract
Between the studies about gender and marital violence, the focus is more on women as victims of violence. This situation is important, but based on a theoretical discussion with authors of the health and sociology health field during the decade 2000, this article aims to investigate the feminine violence. In the literature about gender violence, there are few studies about the visibility of the woman as author of violent acts, specifically, drug trafficking, the main reason for the imprisonment of woman in recent years, and contributing to the increase in rates of the woman as author of violent acts. Thereby, this article tries to contribute with more enlightenment about feminine violence, a theme which is not much discussed.
