The Modernity/Coloniality group, founded at the end of the 1990s, is one of the great exponents of critical thinking in Latin America. Names such as Aníbal Quijano, Santiago Castro-Gómez, Walter Mignolo
and María Lugones, demonstrate the strength and reach of Latin American
critical thinking through decolonial theory, which, contrary to what many think, was not constituted from homogeneous thinking. There are significant disagreements between one theorist and another and, perhaps, one of the most interesting debates focuses on the writings of María
Lugones and Rita Laura Segato, who start from the concept of Coloniality of Power to construct a decolonial feminist theory, however, find results opposites regarding the origin of patriarchy and the presence of gender nomenclature in pre-intrusion America. Keeping in mind the significant
differences between the authors in their theoretical conceptions, this article aims to present to readers the significant differences between the two authors based on a qualitative reflexivist methodology, answering the question: what are the differences and convergences between María Lugones decolonial feminism and Rita Segato decolonial feminism? A
bibliographical analysis dedicated to some of the authors' works was carried out without the intention of determining which are the most important, or even exhausting the debate.
