| description | This paper discusses part of the regarding interviews carried out in Recife, the state capital of Pernambuco, within the research “ Recognition and memories of the ‘years of lead’: the reports from families of missing political activists and political prisioners during the military dictatoryship in Belo Horizonte, Recife, Brasília e Vitória”. In this data selection that is exposed here, there was the need to focus on understanding the impact of militancy against the military dictatorship in the family dynamics and in women and motherhood concepts. Nineteen interviews were accomplished and two were chosen as they highlighted the history of women in search of their children. The content analysis of those interviews led to the construction of two themed axes interrelated. In the first, the changes in social roles were studied, and, in the second, the occupation of the public space by the women/mothers. The impact that the military dictatorship had in the family dynamics was observed from the interviews setting up the role of the women within the family and the occupation of public space. As long as mothers of dead and/or missing militants displayed their traditional protecting role of their offspring, new ways to understand the women and motherhood were emerging and those women were gradually participating more in public life by exercising a political role and by modifying their position as woman and mother in society. |
