This thesis examines the semi-autobiographical work of Maria Beig in the context of traditional and contemporary regional literature. It attempts to do justice to her work as a whole. The style and content of her work are discussed with reference to topics of literary theory relating to regional literature, such as the village novella, or anti-idyllic elements, to mention only those most discussed. A further emphasis of the thesis is the question of academic reception of regional literature, in relation to the genre generally and to Maria Beig's work--that of a "poeta non docta"--in particular. Finally there is a (short) discussion of "women's issues". Such a discussion cannot be omitted, as Maria Beig is a modern woman writer whose main characters are almost exclusively feminine, and whose texts often raise questions concerned with gender. / Included in the appendix are a transcript of an interview between Maria Beig and the author, and a self-written life story which Maria Beig made available to the author. These represent an indispensable aid to the reading and understanding of the thesis.

This study investigates the ideas and work of May Wright Sewall, a late nineteenth and early twentieth century reformer in education, women's rights and peace. May involved herself in many areas where she saw the need for change--specifically into areas where she felt women were being either omitted entirely or at least discriminated against. The work emphasizes May's efforts at reform in each of these areas and as such is neither a full-scale biography nor a history of any one reform movement. Attention has also been given to May's interest in spiritualism--a private part of her life for more than twenty years.May was a great organizer of clubs, especially those for women, and one of her greatest achievements was to consolidate hundreds of women's societies into a large national and international organization. This was accomplished in the year 1888 with her founding of the National and International Councils of Women. These Societies included every interestElizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to the Rambai Circle which promoted child-widow care in India.Although most widely known for her work in these Councils, May worked hardest as a suffragist. In 1878, she founded the Indianapolis Equal Suffrage Society which was from the National Woman's Suffrage Association headed by later extended into a state-wide society. In 1882 she chaired the executive committee of the National Woman Suffrage Association and remained in this position for eight years. In 1893 she presided over the World's Congress of Representative Women at the Chicago World's Fair.In addition to lecturing widely throughout the United States and in many foreign countries for women's rights, she was active in promoting world peace. An active member of the American Peace Society, she espoused the cause among women's organizations persuading both the National and the International Councils to adopt peace programs.Despite her national and international commitments, Mrs. Sewall was still actively involved in local affairs. She was a co-founder and principal of the Girls' Classical School in Indianapolis. In this position she not only advocated a woman's right to equal educational opportunities, but she also put into practice some educational reforms--specifically those in women's physical education and home economics.She published numerous articles and pamphlets and was editor of a woman's column in the Indianapolis Times for over two years. She wrote the Indiana chapter in History of Woman Suffrage edited by Susan B. Anthony and Ida H. Harper and a chapter in Women's Work in America edited by Annie Nathan Meyer. She also edited several volumes dealing with aspects of the women's movement including: The World's Congress of Representative Women (2 Volumes, 1894); The International Council of Women, 1899-1904 (2 Volumes, 1904); Genesis of the International Council and the Story of Its Growth (1914); Women, World War and Permanent Peace (1915) and an autobiographical account of her adventures in the realm of spiritualism, Neither Dead Nor Sleeping (1920).

Objetiva, também, revelar um retrato da personagem a partir das suas relações com os seus alunos, amigos e público. Para tanto, foram elaboradas entrevistas com Neusa França, seus principais alunos e ex-alunos e reunimos documentos fornecidos por Neusa, como recortes de jornais e revistas, programas de concertos, anotações e correspondências pessoais. Organizou-se o material a partir dos programas dos seus festivais “Vamos Ouvir Música?” e do seu currículo. O corpo teórico da Sociologia que dispõe de técnicas metodológicas para encontrar respostas às indagações propostas, é o que trata da compreensão dos processos de interação nos campos, da representação do cotidiano das relações nas suas pequenas coisas e do resultado do processo social de cada aspecto das atividades e organizações do mundo da arte. A pesquisa inclui a fase de Neusa quando viveu no Rio de Janeiro e prossegue com sua chegada a Brasília. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The principal purpose of this work is to understand the process by which Neusa França became consecrated in Brasilia as one of the most respected professionals in her field, namely, music. Another purpose is to reveal a picture of this personage based on her relations with students, friends and the public. For such, interviews were arranged with Neusa França, her main students and ex-students, and documents, newspaper and magazine clippings, concert programs, notes, and personal correspondences were collected. The material was organized on the basis of the programs of her festivals "Let’s Hear Music?" and her resumé. The theoretical body of sociology which avails of methodological techniques to find answers to purposed questionings, is that which addresses the comprehension of processes of interaction in the fields, the representation of the day to day relations in their details, and the result of the social process of each aspect of the activities and organizations in the world of art. The research includes a phase of Neusa when she resided in Rio de Janeiro and follows with her arrival in Brasilia.

Tomando por pressuposto que a crítica jornalística pode ser um importante elemento no processo de recepção, especialmente quando propõe critérios para a interpretação das produções literárias, são comentadas algumas das respostas dadas pelos críticos ao desafio de ler Clarice Lispector e apresentá-la aos leitores / Abstract: This dissertation aims at showing how criticis found in newspapers treated Clarice Lispector's literary work, from 1943 up to the nineties, in order to identify some of the elements that consitituted such a criticism, indicate some possible ways to understand it and propose adequate parameters to insert it in the collection of Clarice Lispector's criticism fortune.
