Sumario:This paper presents some debates about epistemological and methodological challenges to feminist research. It shows the richness of a category from Feminist Studies, the "experience", which brings depth to the study of both social groups and personal trajectories, as it challenges the dichotomous division between macro/micro, action/structure, and actor/system. The starting point is a research on lesbian activism. That which we consider a theoretical overcoming of the approach to the "the singular" and "the common", the paper focus on the dialogues between queer theory, sociology, epistemology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, among others. We will pay attention to the "standpoint theory" to account for the knotting of the numerous social relations that constitute each person, studying those spaces of experience that serve as a place of inscription of collective meanings and dissident political subjectivation, which build a particular way of being “lesbian”.
