description ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate the implications of the emergence and development of feminist bioethics in Brazil for nursing practice. Methods: integrative literature review. In April 2023, we searched PubMed, EBSCO, BVS, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, selecting nine studies. Inclusion criteria comprised year and language of publication; we excluded foreign publications and those unrelated to feminist bioethics and nursing. Results: we identified a gap in research on this topic from 2006 to 2020; most studies discussed the theme of valuing nursing and concluded that political engagement in health is a viable strategy. Final Considerations: feminist bioethics encourages nurses to discuss gender roles in the workplace and to address vulnerabilities in care delivery. Furthermore, it seeks to promote a more balanced and equitable ethical decision-making process by incorporating the voices of nurses and patients in shaping patient care.
