| Sumario: | The History of women has highlighted the multiple experiences of women in the past, but also the plural and multifaceted character of their struggles. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th the women, feminist or not, adhered to different agendas that went beyond the claim for women’s rights such as republicanism and abolitionism. The empathy for non-human animals, victims of scientific experiments and used as guinea pigs by the industry, during this period, also led many of them to become vegetarians and join to the antivivisectionist struggle; in Brazil, feminist and anarchist intellectual Maria Lacerda de Moura was one of these women. In this article, we seek to understand her positions and her relationship with these struggles from analyze of her work Civilização Tronco de Escravos, published in 1931. |
