Žene u portugalskoj revoluciji 1974.
Women in Portuguese Revolution 1974.

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the participation of women in the revolutionary process that developed in Portugal shortly after the 25th of April, 1974 (when the Armed Forces Movement deposed the Estado Novo regime of Marcello Caetano, Salazar's successor). The article focuses on two main points. First, women, in contrast with their situation during the Estado Novo, became publicly involved in decision making by participating in the revolutionary process. Second, such participation gave them a new concept of citizenship that affected their relations at the workplace. The material presented is interpreted in the larger context of Portuguese society, its political ideologies, legislation, the emergence of the »women's question«, among other elements — as they all shape the women’s roles.
