| Sumario: | This article reflects on the female maroon practices exercised by the enslaved women of NewGranada in the 18th century. In order to understand these practices, a qualitative design methodologicalapproach supported by the document review method was chosen to investigate articlesrelated to this topic. As a result of this investigation, it was found that female maroon experiences,such as the use of the word, magic, the exercise of sexuality or decisions about the body, amongothers, were easily interpreted by the colonial authorities as signs. pagans or abjections typical ofbarbarian peoples. This led to many enslaved women being imprisoned, tortured, even sentencedto death. However, in these practices many of the enslaved women preserved their ancestralknowledge and remained spiritually free, because they exercised their right to cultural and individualautonomy. Therefore, today these behaviors are recognized as Feminine Maroon. Therefore,it was concluded that this type of maroonage represented an exercise of double resistance byAfrican women against slavery and gender oppression.
