Abstract(s)
Nos primeiros anos do século XX a mulher, salvo em alguns estratos sociais mais
elevados, não passava de um segmento da população que quase tinha apenas como
funções procriar e respeitar a autoridade masculina. Os seus direitos eram quase
inexistentes. O seu lugar era em casa, a tratar das lidas domésticas e a cuidar dos filhos.
Pensar em tornar a mulher independente era visto como uma ameaça para a
sociedade instituída. Desta forma, após o pronunciamento de abril de 1974, foi necessário
combater não só o que ficara do regime autoritário anterior, mas, especialmente, a
mentalidade geral vigente. Após o 25 de abril de 1974 as mulheres saíram à rua e fizeram se ouvir em modo de protesto exigindo a igualdade de género.
O 25 de abril trouxe a estas, e a todas as mulheres portuguesas, um novo grito de
liberdade e de afirmação do sexo feminino em Portugal. É de salientar que todo este
ânimo libertador proporcionou não só em Portugal Continental, como também na Madeira
e nos Açores uma mudança progressiva de comportamentos sociais. Esta dissertação de
mestrado enquadra-se, objetivamente, naquele que foi o papel da mulher, em particular a
madeirense, na data mais emblemática, no nosso entender, do Portugal do século XX.
In the early years of the 20th century, women, except in some high social strata, were nothing more than a segment of the population whose functions were only to procreate and to respect male authority. Her rights were almost non-existent. Her place was at home, doing the housework and taking care of the children. The sheer thought of making women independent was seen as a threat to the established society. Thus, after the April 1974 pronouncement, it was necessary to fight not only what was left from the authoritarian regime, but especially the general mentality in force. After the 25th of April 1974 women took to the streets and made themselves heard in a protest demanding gender equality. The 25th of April brought them, and all Portuguese women, a new cry for freedom and affirmation of the female gender in Portugal. It is noteworthy that all this liberating spirit brought about not only in mainland Portugal, but also in Madeira and the Azores a progressive change in population behaviour. This dissertation is framed, objectively, in what was the role of women, particularly Madeira women, in the most emblematic date of twentieth-century Portugal.
