Resumo: The First World War had great repercussion worldwide, having occurred in the midst of numerous transformations in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres. The impact in Brazil happened mainly from 1917, when Brazil was directly assaulted by Germany and declared war to that country. This article reflects the debates about female participation in the War, whether as supporters, nurses or soldiers. The formation of the Women’s Legion of Death in Russia has made a major impact by showing the world the images of women in military uniforms and fighting in the battlefield. In the same way the appeal of the Red Cross by volunteers became an international clamor. In addition, there were the feminist and suffragist agenda and the discussions on the role of women in modern society.

Sua repercussão no Brasil aconteceu principalmente a partir de 1917, quando, reagindo a uma agressão direta, o governo declarou guerra à Alemanha. Este artigo reflete os debates sobre a participação das mulheres na Guerra, nas funções de enfermeiras e soldadas. A formação da Legião Feminina da Morte, na Rússia, causou grande impacto ao mostrar ao mundo as imagens de mulheres trajando uniformes militares masculinos e participando em combates diretos. Da mesma forma, o apelo da Cruz Vermelha por voluntárias se transformou num clamor internacional. Em meio a tudo isso, havia ainda a agenda feminista e sufragista e as discussões sobre o papel da mulher na sociedade moderna.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/6149210.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n61492Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 28 Núm. 3 (2020)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 28 n. 3 (2020)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/61492/44912Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Estudos Feministashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRocha, Elaine Pereira2020-12-18T20:43:55Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/61492Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:48.418828Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
