| Summary: | The paper discusses the relationship between patriarchy and formation of the Brazilian nation from a feminist perspective.

This approach allows for further discussion on the relationship between public and private spheres and the nation's formation, going beyond the criticism of the overlapping of public and private realms, present on Brazilian social thought patriarchal domination analysis. |
