Using a comparative approach, this study focusses primarily on the relationship between sex, the body, language, and discourse in order to understand the political and social forces working against the free expression of body and sexuality (particularly during the 1960s and 1970s) as well as to analyse the literary strategies used by the Three Marias, Neto Jorge and Teresa Horta in order to subvert dominant patriarchal and phallocentric discourse in representation, knowledge, and politics. Key words: body; sexuality; eroticism; representation; écriture féminine; Portuguese women’s writing. Resumo Esta tese pretende estudar a representação do corpo e da sexualidade a partir do “feminino” na poesia de Luiza Neto Jorge e de Maria Teresa Horta, bem como no livro Novas Cartas Portuguesas, escrito conjuntamente por Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Teresa Horta e Maria Velho da Costa (Três Marias). Através de uma abordagem comparatista, este estudo chama a atenção para a relação entre sexo, corpo, linguagem e discurso, procurando, por um lado, analisar os mecanismos políticos e sociais que coarctam a livre expressão do corpo e da sexualidade sobretudo nos anos 60 e 70, e, por outro, compreender as estratégias literárias utilizadas pelas Três Marias, por Neto Jorge e por Teresa Horta de modo a subverter os discursos patriarcais e falocêntricos dominantes no que diz respeito a questões como representação, conhecimento e o político. Palavras-chave: corpo; sexualidade; erotismo; representação; écriture féminine; escrita das mulheres portuguesas. Acknowledgements I would firstly like to thank Dr Marinela Freitas for her patience with me and invaluable guidance and specialist insight throughout this project. I would also like to thank Dr Joana Matos Frias for her support during the process of writing this thesis. It has, without a doubt, been a privilege to study at the Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto for the last two years and I feel extremely lucky to have had the chance to benefit from the expert tutelage of such a vast range of academics in my time here. Of course, I could not have had this opportunity in the first place if it hadn’t been for Dr Rui Miranda and Dr Mark Sabine who encouraged me in my application to the University of Porto and have continued to offer support from afar over the past two years. Finally, I must thank my family for backing me all the way, always being in my corner, and for always encouraging me to pursue my education. James Wright also deserves a mention here for his infallible support and confidence in me, his patience and for just generally being wonderful. Having so many people rooting for me, even from a distance, has truly made all the difference.

On the one hand, the politics of female liberation were linked to a large extent with the counter-regime struggle, with women playing a key role in opposition to the Estado Novo. On this side of the fight for women’s liberation, women’s social and political emancipation was inextricably linked with the opposition groups who fought against the dictatorial regime, often focussing on censorship, the colonial wars, education and workers’ rights.1 Although there were some groups created specifically with female emancipation in mind, such as the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas [The National Council of Portuguese Women] (1914-1947) and the Associação Feminina Portuguesa para a Paz [Portuguese Feminine Association for Peace] (1935-1952), they were dissolved by the Estado Novo regime and never managed to recover any large underground participation, thus the political participation of women against the dictatorship became integrated into the more successful movements of the political left such as the Movimento de Unidade Democrática [Movement for Democratic Unity] (1945-1948) (MUD) and the Partido Comunista Português [Portuguese 1 Vanda Gorjão’s 2002 study Mulheres em Tempos Sombrios provides a complete study of feminine opposition to the Estado Novo regime and emphasises the large role of women in oppositional politics coming from a vast number of backgrounds including liberal, republican, socialist, communist, anarcho-syndicalist, feminist and pacifist. Introduction | 2 Communist Party] (1921-) (PCP).2 The principal exception to this trend, the Movimento democrático de mulheres [Women’s Democratic Movement] (1968-) (MDM), was created with heavy participation from the PCP (although without official affiliation). What is particularly interesting about the MDM is that they identify themselves principally as a political entity rather than a ‘feminist group’ as such3 and, unlike the earlier women’s groups that were dissolved, the issues that MDM engaged with were not exclusively ‘women’s issues’ – for example, the MDM launched a protest against the colonial wars in the early 1970s. This means that on the political side of Portuguese feminism, there were no successful feminist groups to foreground feminist issues as such, but that women’s presence in politics was more of a women’s voice on current affairs and some women’s issues with very little emphasis on a specific feminist politic. On the other hand, women were also fighting their own ideological battle for freedom of sexuality and of sexual expression that lay outside of the political manifestos of left-wing political groups. It is this second struggle that renders the Portuguese women’s cause so unique in the context of global women’s liberation. Although feminist movements from other national backgrounds, in particular French and Anglo-American, were also concerned with achieving sexual liberation, the expression of Portuguese sexual liberation was articulated on very different terms.

    Vol. 6, no. 1 (2016), 95-111 | DOI: 10.18352/rg.10128 ‘Holistic Mothers’ or ‘Bad Mothers’? Challenging Biomedical Models of the Body in Portugal ANNA FEDELE* Abstract This paper is based on early fieldwork findings on ‘holistic mothering’ in contemporary Portugal. I use holistic mothering as an umbrella term to cover different mothering choices, which are rooted in the assumption that pregnancy, childbirth and early childhood are important spiritual occasions for both mother and child. Considering that little social scientific literature exists about the religious dimension of alternative mothering choices, I present here a first description of this phenomenon and offer some initial anthropological reflections, paying special attention to the influence of Goddess spirituality on holistic mothers. Drawing on Pamela Klassen’s ethnography about religion and home birth in America (2001), I argue that in Portugal holistic mothers are challenging biomedical models of the body, asking for a more woman-centred care, and contributing to the process, already widespread in certain other European countries, of ‘humanising’ pregnancy and childbirth. Keywords Holistic Mothering; Goddess spirituality; Portugal; CAM; biomedicine; homebirth.

  • OECD EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK – ISBN 92-64-19778-8 – ©2002 62 – Women at Work: Who Are They and How Are They Faring?
    Chapter 2 Women at work: who are they and how are they faring? This chapter analyses the diverse labour market experiences of women in OECD countries using comparable and detailed data on the structure of employment and earnings by gender. It begins by documenting the evolution of the gender gap in employment rates, taking account of differences in working time and how women’s participation in paid employment varies with age, education and family situation. Gender differences in occupation and sector of employment, as well as in pay, are then analysed for wage and salary workers. Despite the sometimes strong employment gains of women in recent decades, a substantial employment gap remains in many OECD countries. Occupational and sectoral segmentation also remains strong and appears to result in an under-utilisation of women’s cognitive and leadership skills. Women continue to earn less than men, even after controlling for characteristics thought to influence productivity. The gender gap in employment is smaller in countries where less educated women are more integrated into the labour market, but occupational segmentation tends to be greater and the aggregate pay gap larger. Less educated women and mothers of two or more children are considerably less likely to be in employment than are women with a tertiary qualification or without children. Once in employment, these women are more concentrated in a few, female-dominated occupations. In most countries, there is no evidence of a wage penalty attached to motherhood, but their total earnings are considerably lower than those of childless women, because mothers more often work part time.

  • Women Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation in Portugal: Life Narratives
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 1 No. 17 [Special Issue – November 2011] Women Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation in Portugal: Life narratives Ana Sofia Antunes das Neves, PhD Psychology and Communication Department Instituto Superior da Maia, Maia, Portugal Avenida Carlos Oliveira Campos – Castêlo da Maia 4475 – 690 Avioso S. Pedro Portugal Abstract This paper describes a qualitative research about women trafficking for sexual exploitation in Portugal. The life experiences of a group of Brazilian women were characterised through the use of a comprehensive methodology – life narratives. The evidences found in this study, analysed and interpreted discursively from a feminist critical perspective, show us an unmistakable and intricate articulation between gender issues and poverty and social exclusion. Those conditions seem to establish themselves risk factors for victimisation and sexual oppression. Key Words: Migration, Women trafficking, Intersectionality. 1. Introduction Social and economic instability and gender discrimination leads millions of women, around the world, to migrate to developed countries, hoping to improve their life quality. Throughout all Europe, women experience situations of great vulnerability and are frequently faced with situations of oppression and domestic and institutional violence (Freedman, 2003). Unemployment and poverty in origin countries reinforces the tendency to feminization of migrations (Castles & Miller, 2003) or, as other authors prefer to call, to gender transition (Morokvašić, 2010), one of the main features of the present era of migrations. Migration dynamics are very complex and depends on identities belongings like ethnicity, gender and age (Crenshaw, 1991), as well as other conditions such as the educational level, occupation, marital status and political and economical pressures associated to certain geographical areas (O.McKee, 2000).
