RAMOS, Maria Bernardete. Ao Brasil dos meus sonhos: feminismo e modernismo na utopia de Adalzira Bittencourt. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2002, vol.10, n.01, pp.11-37. ISSN 1806-9584.

This essay articulates Brazilian writer Adalzira Bittencourt’s feminism to the modernist movement in Brazil, drawing relationships between her modernist utopia- which cannot be restricted to concerns about women’s power- and the national dream that projected the nation in the 1920s. It also articulates Bittencourt’s brand of feminism- in line with the Feminine Republican Party’s ideology (in the 1920s and 1930s) and under the influence of eugenic laws or hygienic practices- with the hegemonic discourses emphasizing maternity as women’s mission in improving both the race and the nation.

Palabras clave : Feminism; Modernism; Eugenics; Nationalism.
