| Summary: | Based on a subnational case study of the femocrats in charge of gender policies in the government of Montevideo, this article asks: What are the main features of the public policy actions of these actors? The findings show that these femocrats have adopted characteristics usually associated with social movements, by supporting women’s social organization, maintaining a political dialogue with leaders of the feminist movement, modifying public interventions, and building feminist identities and subjectivities. Thus, also from State institutions, it is possible to construct subjects capable of transforming the gender order.
