Resumo: This paper discusses aspects of the regulation of the female body, from the end of the 19th century to the mid 20th century, based on the analysis of a selection of numbers from the pharmacy almanac entitled d’A Saude da Mulher (Women’s Health). The publication was one of the most read by the ladies of that time and advertised the most popular medicine in the national industry for their health. It featured medicines ads, horoscopes, illustrations, letters from readers, among other contents. Involved in moral discourses, they acted as a pedagogical device, teaching, inspiring and regulating behaviors and modeling subjectivities, especially those of women, who should be docile, good mothers, wives and home caregivers. This essay argues how the almanacs acted as instruments of regulation of the female body, spreading ideals of femininity/virility, family, health, hygiene and national progress.

A publicação era uma das mais lidas pelas senhoras e veiculava o medicamento mais popular da indústria nacional voltado para sua saúde. Apresentava anúncios de medicamentos, horóscopos, ilustrações, cartas de leitoras, entre outras variedades. Envoltos de discursos morais, atuaram como dispositivo pedagógico, ensinando, inspirando e regulando comportamentos e modelando subjetividades, principalmente as das mulheres, que deveriam ser dóceis, boas mães, esposas e cuidadoras do lar. Este artigo argumenta como os almanaques atuaram como instrumentos de regulação, educando e medicalizando o corpo feminino, disseminando ideais de feminilidade e virilidade, família, saúde, higiene e progresso nacional.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2020-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/1806-9584-2020v28n15785410.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n157854Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 28 n. 1 (2020)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/1806-9584-2020v28n157854/43504Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Beatriz OliveiraGermano, Idilva Maria Pires2020-06-10T14:30:24Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/57854Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:44.105859Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
