Abstract

This paper analyses the context of the ascension of bourgeois ideals in the end of the First Brazilian Republic (1889-1930), using gender as an historical concept and building a narrative from a women's history perspective, basing itself on the feminine urban reality of the 20s and 30s, in the southeast, specially São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and on the mentality changes occurred at that period. The subjects concerned to women (maternity, sexuality, feminine behaviour) are important and central to the understanding of the political events, demonstrating that women aren't a footnote of history and that as gender is constructed by politics, politics builds gender.
