| Summary: | This essay articulates Brazilian writer Adalzira Bittencourts feminism to the modernist
movement in Brazil, drawing relationships between her modernist utopia which cannot be
restricted to concerns about womens power and the national dream that projected the nation
in the 1920s. It also articulates Bittencourts brand of feminism in line with the Feminine Republican
Partys ideology (in the 1920s and 1930s) and under the influence of eugenic laws or hygienic
practices with the hegemonic discourses emphasizing maternity as womens mission in improving
both the race and the nation. |
