FROM MARIANA ALCOFORADO TO THE THREE MARIES, A WAY OF COURAGE AND RESISTANCE FROM THE WORD

Abstract

After several decades of the Salazar regime, Portugal is in a period of social disorder. A few years later, the project called “Las Tres Marías” emerged, giving way to a feminist liberalism in which women were expected to become aware of their condition, regardless of their social status. This movement was born from the New Portuguese Letters, and obtained great support abroad.
