“MULHERES UNI-VOS! ”:

O MOVIMENTO FEMINISTA E SUAS PRIMEIRAS MANIFESTAÇÕES NO BRASIL (1832-1934)

Abstract

The aim of the present text is to make some considerations about the trajectory of the feminist movement in Brazil in its "first" one hundred years, from the publication of the book of the writer Nísia Floresta, Women's rights and injustice of the men, considered as the initial mark of this movement in Brazil, in 1832, until 1934, when there was the conquest of women's suffrage in the Brazilian Magna Carta. In view of this, we will start with a bibliographical review on the theme and the analysis of some feminist periodicals that circulated in Brazil during the 19th century. We intend, therefore, to discuss the first vestiges of the feminist struggle and its main representatives. What were the ideals espoused by these women and how was this movement gained adherents all over the world. And, in this way, understand how feminism is plural and diverse, and, as it has over time, incorporated different patterns, becoming more and more comprehensive. That said, we will analyze the different strategies they used for the achievement of rights and the differences between them. Therefore, we will dialogue with the researchers on such topics as Rachel Soihet (2013), Celí Regina Pinto (2003) and Branca Moreira Alves (1980).
