Resumen
VERGARA, Moema de Rezende. “Cartas a uma senhora”: questões de gênero e a divulgação do darwinismo no Brasil. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2007, vol.15, n.02, pp.383-398. ISSN 1806-9584.
In the recent works about Brazilian public understanding of science, gender has been poorly used as an analytical category. This paper has as its main goal to bridge this gap by analyzing a section called ‘Letters for a Lady‘, in the journal O Vulgarizador that sought to teach all about Darwinism to women in the Brazil of the 19th century. So the notion of gender will help us understand the tension between masculinity and femininity in the text written by the literary critic Rangel S. Paio.
Palabras clave : Public Understanding of Science; Darwinism; Gender.
