Abstract(s)
A menstruação e o sangue menstrual têm sido objeto das mais variadas teorias e efabulações, algumas das quais, apesar de remontarem à Antiguidade, perduraram e foram seguidas em épocas subsequentes. Com o presente trabalho pretendemos expor a perspetiva de alguns médicos sobre aquelas matérias, designadamente a expressa em estudos académicos, no século XIX e nos inícios do século XX. Simultaneamente, serão mencionadas razões invocadas para justificar a inferiorização e a subalternização da mulher em relação ao homem, até porque a menstruação integra o rol de argumentos usados para esse efeito.
Menstruation and menstrual blood have been the object of the most disparate theories and fabulations, some of which, though dating back to Antiquity, have long endured and been followed in subsequent historical periods. In this paper we will seek to outline the views set forth by some doctors on such matters, especially as they have been expressed in academic studies carried out in the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Concomitantly, we will examine the reasons underlying the subaltern status and subordination of women to men, since menstruation is often evoked as one of the arguments supporting it.
