Resumo: Female adultery is one of the most common topics of 19th century novels. In Portugal, this was to be one of the most discussed problems of that time, addressed in novels but also in critical or philosophical observations by famous intellectuals. Female authors were no exception to this rule and, contrary to popular belief, were not always the most tolerant judges. Maria Peregrina de Sousa (1809-1894) and Ana Plácido (1831-1895) both wrote about adulterous women and the consequences of their life choices. While both authors advise women against adultery, their points of view are markedly different. In this article, I aim to understand the message they chose to convey to their 19th century female readers.

Em Portugal, este foi um dos problemas mais discutidos ao longo do século XIX, abordado por muitos intelectuais renomados quer em romances, quer em textos críticos ou filosóficos. As autoras do sexo feminino não foram excepção a esta regra e, contrariamente à opinião comum, nem sempre foram as críticas mais tolerantes. Maria Peregrina de Sousa (1809-1894) e Ana Plácido (1831-1895) escreveram ambas sobre mulheres adúlteras e as consequências das escolhas de vida dessas personagens. Porém, se ambas aconselham a mulher a abster-se de ceder ao adultério, os seus pontos de vista relativamente a essa transgressão feminina são marcadamente diferentes. Neste artigo, procurarei apreender a mensagem que cada uma destas autoras desejou transmitir sobre este tópico às suas leitoras oitocentistas.Este trabalho é financiado por fundos nacionais através da Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), I.P.Universidade Federal do ParáRepositório da Universidade de LisboaGanhão, Mónica2024-01-23T18:56:46Z20232023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/62057eng0104-0944http://dx.doi.org/10.18542/moara.v0i64.13616info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-29T01:20:14Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/62057Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:58:33.301297Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
