FIGURELLI, Fernanda. When women tell: gender relations and historical narratives on an old rural property. []. , 25, 2, pp.315-334.   25--2021. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.9648.

This article is based on a fieldwork carried out in the lands of a former rural property in northeastern Brazil. I consider the history of this property as told by its old inhabitants, who still live there. I intend to demonstrate that the content as well as the social dynamics of their narrations leave out the experiences and the accounts of women. Also, the categories of social sciences that I take to the fieldwork are predominantly associated with masculine experiences. In this paper I explore the marginalized narratives that fall outside the history of this place. In these, specific gender experiences emerge.
