MARCANO, Isabel. Enganadas Tradição, relações de género e sexualidade feminina no século XX no Sul da Europa: o caso do Alentejo em Portugal. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2014, n.32, pp.59-74. ISSN 0874-6885.

This paper presents a reflection on the man­-woman relationship and the female sexuality in the twentieth century in the working class of rural workers in the Portuguese province, on the basis of empirical data obtained in the rural Alentejo Region. The asymmetry in gender relations and the division of gender roles at work and in the family are a constant of a traditional society that, despite the moral of honour and shame, allows high illegitimacy rates and shows strong signs of population ageing, in recent decades.

Palabras clave : gender relations; work; sexuality; illegitimacy and cohabitation.
