Reflexões Steinianas: entre a natureza divina e o protagonismo social do feminismo na Amazônia

Abstract

This work searches for clarifying a doctrine of specifically female formation, with regard to the natural vocation of women, their empowerment and social protagonism in the Am-azon, highlighting the women's formation, before their natural and social being and in-volving feminist issues, which, for in turn, insists on understanding the woman only as a predominantly social being. With this, the woman suffocates her natural vocation of being a mother and a wife to act socially, mischaracterizing herself as a woman and assuminga masculine attitude towards society, the labor market, and even the family. By leaving her motherly vocation, the woman becomes more and more active in the profession or in the environment in which she is inserted professionally. However, her true vocation is to be a companion to the man and heart of the family. Stein (1999) deals with the relation of the feminine soul to the modern world, with regard to the very concept-tion of under-standing of the feminine being and the personality of the woman. It shows that women can gain space in the market and in society, being a competent and respected professional, without necessarily having to be mischaracterized. The Steinian approach to the subject, before attempting to impose a truth, seeks to dialogue seriously and openly with other positions on the subject. Keywords: Natural vocation of woman; Feminine being; Social protagonism.
