Suzana Prates (June 27, 1940 – January 5, 1988) was a Brazilian feminist sociologist and academic. She spent most of her professional career in Uruguay where she dedicated her life to national and Latin American feminist thought.[1][2] She was the founder of the "Centro de Estudios e Informaciones del Uruguay" (English: Center for Studies and Information of Uruguay) (CIESU) and, at the end of the 1970s, she founded the "Grupo de Estudios sobre la Condición de la Mujer en Uruguay" (English: Study Group on the Condition of Women in Uruguay) (GRECMU).[3] Her colleagues included Julieta Kirkwood and Elizabeth Jelin.[4]
