Irmãs de fé, mulheres invisíveis: a participação feminina na implantação e expansão de igrejas evangélicas pentecostais, em Montes Claros na década de 1970

Abstract

This dissertation sought to understand women's participation in the founding of the Pentecostal churches of "second wave", "Igreja Pentecostal O Brasil Para Cristo," "Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular" and "Igreja de Deus Reavivamento Pentecostal" in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, during the decade , 1970. The general objective of the research focused on the analysis of this female participation, highlighting the gender representations built on them and for themselves. In this context, we opted for the use of oral history as a methodological procedure and documentary source. The confrontation of different narratives revealed the existence of asymmetric hierarchies within these institutions.
