Uma mulher benze uma criança febril e ninguém lhe chama doutora, nem sacerdotisa, nem santa. Chamam-lhe apenas a senhora que sabe. Outra mulher acompanha um parto, de madrugada, sem diploma nenhum além de décadas de experiência. Uma terceira guarda, numa gaveta, os nomes de uma famÃlia inteira que já ninguém mais se lembra de identificar.
Mulheres de Poder é o quarto e último volume da Coleção Vozes da Estrada - o livro que reúne tudo o que os três volumes anteriores prepararam. Já não segue uma única figura, como Pomba Gira Cigana ou Santa Sara Kali, nem apenas o encontro entre Portugal e Brasil. Pergunta, antes, o que é que todas estas mulheres têm em comum: que tipo de poder representam, e porque razão continuam, geração após geração, a ser reconhecidas por comunidades inteiras sem nunca terem precisado de um tÃtulo oficial.
Ao longo de onze capÃtulos, este livro percorre a benzedeira e a curandeira, a parteira e a matriarca, a santa popular e a mulher perseguida como feiticeira, a mãe de santo e a cambona - sustentado sempre que possÃvel por casos reais e documentados: uma benzedeira e parteira baiana entrevistada por investigação académica recente; um ex-voto português de 1842, ainda hoje preservado num museu; dois processos judiciais do século XVIII, com nomes, datas e arquivo; e a extraordinária sucessão de seis mulheres que dirigiram, ao longo de mais de cem anos, uma das casas de religião afro-brasileira mais antigas do Brasil.
Neste livro vais encontrar: - O que distingue o poder institucional do poder reconhecido pela experiência - Por que razão a mesma comunidade pode procurar uma mulher e, ao mesmo tempo, desconfiar dela - Casos históricos verificáveis, com nomes, datas e fontes académicas - Um mapa comparativo das diferentes formas de poder feminino informal - Uma reflexão final sobre as mulheres comuns - avós, mães, vizinhas - cujas vozes raramente chegam a um livro
Este é o volume que fecha a coleção perguntando não quem é esta figura?, mas o que torna possÃvel que uma mulher, sem nome oficial nenhum, seja reconhecida como fonte de autoridade por toda uma comunidade?
