Resumo(s)
A trajetória de Virgínia Quaresma evidencia os desafios e as possibilidades de participação feminina no espaço público luso-brasileiro durante as primeiras décadas do século XX. Num contexto marcado por profundas desigualdades de género e por fortes limitações à presença das mulheres na vida política, social e profissional, destacou-se pelo pioneirismo jornalístico, pela intervenção cívica e pela construção de um percurso transnacional entre Portugal e Brasil.
Neste âmbito, o principal objetivo deste projeto consiste em analisar a trajetória biográfica, profissional e ativista da jornalista, procurando compreender de que forma a sua experiência transatlântica influenciou o seu percurso e contribuiu para a afirmação de posições progressistas num período dominado por valores conservadores. Pretende-se igualmente identificar os constrangimentos sociais, políticos e culturais que marcaram a sua vivência, bem como avaliar a relevância da sua atuação no contexto da evolução dos direitos das mulheres em Portugal e no Brasil.
Partindo do conceito de interseccionalidade, o estudo procura compreender de que modo diferentes fatores de diferenciação social influenciaram a sua experiência enquanto mulher, jornalista e figura pública. Simultaneamente, é analisado o contexto histórico em que desenvolveu a sua atividade, marcado pelas reivindicações em torno do sufrágio feminino, pelas transformações políticas ocorridas em Portugal e no Brasil e pelas limitações impostas à participação das mulheres na esfera pública.
A análise realizada evidencia a importância de Virgínia Quaresma enquanto jornalista, ativista e figura pública. O seu percurso entre Portugal e Brasil, aliado à defesa dos direitos das mulheres e à sua intervenção na imprensa, permitiu-lhe afirmar-se num contexto em que a participação feminina permanecia fortemente condicionada. Neste sentido, a sua trajetória constitui um exemplo relevante para compreender os desafios enfrentados pelas mulheres que procuraram conquistar espaço e visibilidade numa sociedade marcada por profundas desigualdades sociais e de género.
Virgínia Quaresma's trajectory highlights both the challenges and the possibilities of women's participation in the Portuguese-Brazilian public sphere during the first decades of the twentieth century. In a context marked by profound gender inequalities and significant limitations on women's presence in political, social and professional life, she distinguished herself through her pioneering role in journalism, her civic engagement and the development of a transnational career between Portugal and Brazil. In this context, the main objective of this project is to analyse the journalist's biographical, professional and activist trajectory, seeking to understand how her transatlantic experience influenced her path and contributed to the affirmation of progressive positions during a period dominated by conservative values. The study also aims to identify the social, political and cultural constraints that shaped her experience, while assessing the significance of her contribution within the broader evolution of women's rights in Portugal and Brazil. Drawing on the concept of intersectionality, this study examines how different social categories influenced her experience as a woman, journalist and public figure. At the same time, it analyses the historical context in which she developed her activity, characterised by the struggle for women's suffrage, the political transformations that took place in Portugal and Brazil, and the limitations imposed on women's participation in the public sphere. The analysis highlights the importance of Virgínia Quaresma as a journalist, activist and public figure. Her trajectory between Portugal and Brazil, combined with her advocacy for women's rights and her work in the press, enabled her to establish herself in a context where women's participation remained strongly constrained. In this sense, her life represents a significant example for understanding the challenges faced by women seeking visibility and recognition in societies marked by deep social and gender inequalities.
