Resumo: The 18th century was a period of change and controversy throughout the western world, serving as the stage for a shift in paradigms, the reshaping of intellectual structures and the questioning of ancient traditions. The new philosophical theories met with some resistance on Portuguese soil; therefore, it took some time for these changes to take root in Portuguese society. This essay will analyse the lives and works of three enlightened Portuguese women in the 18th century: D. Leonor de Almeida (1750-1839), also known as Alcipe; D. Catarina de Lencastre (1749-1824), or Nathercia; and D. Teresa de Mello Breyner (1739-1798?), also known as Tirse. In analysing the cases of Alcipe, Nathercia and Tirse, the present essay intends to shed some light on how 18th century social and cultural transformations influenced female education in Portugal; moreover, it examines the extend to which the thoughts and theories of 18th century authors on such thoroughly discussed subjects as education, literature and travelling contributed to the enlightening of women. Finally, this essay will also consider the modest yet expressive role played by these three women in the propagation of Enlightenment ideals in Portugal.

Leonor de Almeida (1750-1839), ou Alcipe; D. Catarina de Lencastre (1749-1824), ou Nathercia; e D. Teresa de Mello Breyner (1739-1798?), ou Tirse. Sabendo que o século XVIII foi um período marcado por mudança e controvérsia, pela emergência de novos paradigmas, pelo reequacionamento de estruturas mentais e tradições seculares – ainda que em Portugal se experimentasse uma certa resistência às teorias filosóficas emergentes – a questão que lançamos e procuramos analisar é: qual o reflexo destas transformações no universo feminino? Assim, partindo dos três exemplos referidos e a eles tornando, pretendemos problematizar três questões centrais no discurso iluminista – educação, leituras e viagens – observando como estas matérias, assaz discutidas e teorizadas ao longo do século XVIII, se repercutiram na formação feminina em solo português e, por outro lado, analisar o modesto mas expressivo papel que as referidas damas assumiram na propagação da cultura das luzes em Portugal.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto2019-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.vi9.3248https://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.vi9.3248POLISSEMA – ISCAP Journal of Letters; No. 9 (2009); 297-315POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Núm. 9 (2009); 297-315POLISSEMA; No 9 (2009); 297-315POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; N.º 9 (2009); 297-3152184-710X1645-1937reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/3248https://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/3248/1140Direitos de Autor (c) 2009 POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAPinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPeixoto, Vera2024-02-01T20:17:53Zoai:oai.parc.ipp.pt:article/3248Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:00:56.292912Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
