Abstract
En esta investigación se fundamenta la tesis de que los discursos y vindicaciones relacionados con la salud de las mujeres están presentes en cada etapa histórica del desarrollo del feminismo, siguiendo las mismas líneas discursivas y vindicativas que caracterizan cada periodo.Los discursos feministas que relacionan el malestar y la enfermedad de las mujeres con la desigualdad y la subordinación se iniciaron ya en la Ilustración. La obra de Mary Wollstonecraft, Vindicación de los Derechos de la Mujer, considerada un texto fundacional que puso las bases intelectuales y políticas del feminismo, también puede y debe ser considerada un texto fundacional en la teoría feminista aplicada al ámbito de la salud.Durante el sufragismo, etapa en la que además del derecho al voto se vindica el acceso de las mujeres a la educación y al ejercicio de todas las profesiones, se producen intensas luchas teóricas y políticas para la incorporación de las mujeres a los estudios universitarios en las disciplinas sanitarias, especialmente en la medicina, así como para su posterior desempeño profesional. En España, a finales del siglo XIX, las primeras mujeres que acceden a la Universidad y se doctoran son médicas y sus tesis doctorales se dedican a desactivar los argumentos médicos en contra del acceso de las mujeres a la educación. Asimismo, las mujeres que protagonizaron las vindicaciones feministas en esta etapa, como Emilia Pardo Bazán y Concepción Arenal, combatieron duramente los argumentos para la exclusión de las mujeres de la medicina y, al igual que Mary Wollstonecraft, Concepción Arenal identificó el malestar que sienten las mujeres como una consecuencia de su reclusión en la vida doméstica y de las restricciones impuestas a su desarrollo intelectual y profesional, como después teorizará Betty Friedan en La Mística de la Feminidad. También en la obra de Simone de Beauvoir, desarrollada entre el sufragismo y el feminismo radical, se encuentran discursos relacionando las condiciones sociales, la doble jornada y el ciclo vital de las mujeres con su estado de salud...
This research is based on the thesis that the discourses and vindications related to health are present in each historical stage of the development of feminism, following the same discursive and vindictive lines that characterize each period.The feminist discourses that relate women's discomfort and disease to inequality and subordination had already begun in the Enlightenment. The work of Mary Wollstonecraft Vindication of women's rights is considered a foundational text that laid the intellectual and political bases of feminism, but it can also and should be considered a foundational text in the feminist theory applied to the field of health.During suffragism, when women's access to education and the exercise of all professions is vindicated in addition to the right to vote, there are intense theoretical and political struggles in favour of the incorporation of women into university studies in Sanitary disciplines, especially in Medicine, as well as for their later professional practice. In Spain, at the end of the nineteenth century, the first women to enter the University and doctorate were doctors and their doctoral theses were dedicated to defusing the medical arguments against the access of women to education. Likewise, the women who carried out the feminist vindications at this stage, such as Emilia Pardo Bazán and Concepción Arenal, fought hard against the exclusion of women from medicine. Like Mary Wolstonecraft, Concepción Arenal identified the discomfort felt by women as a consequence of their seclusion in domestic life and the restrictions imposed on their intellectual and professional development, as Betty Friedan will later theorize in The Mystique of Femininity. Also in the work of Simone de Beauvoir, between suffragism and radical feminism, there are discourses which relate social conditions, the double day and the life cycle of women with their state of health...
