Alma Feminina
''Alma feminina'' was the official bulletin of Portugal’s ''Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas'' (CNMP) (Portuguese Women’s National Council) from January 1917 to 1946. The Portuguese Women’s National Council was formed in 1914. Its bulletin was first known simply as the Bulletin of the Portuguese Women’s National Council but its name was changed to ''Alma feminina'' (The Feminine Soul) in 1917. It was changed again to ''A Mulher'' (The Woman) in 1946 shortly before the Council was disbanded by the right-wing '' Estado Novo'' government in 1947. The name ''Alma feminina'' had in fact been used for an earlier feminist magazine edited by Virgínia Quaresma. The Council's main means of action was the publication of the bulletin. This was distributed throughout the life of the Council for thirty-two years, between November 1914 and May 1947, in a total of 157 issues. Distributed free of charge to members, the newsletter was sent by mail. For a time, it could also be p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Portuguese Angola
Portuguese Angola refers to Angola during the historic period when it was a territory under Portuguese rule in southwestern Africa. In the same context, it was known until 1951 as Portuguese West Africa (officially the State of West Africa). Initially ruling along the coast and engaging in military conflicts with the Kingdom of Kongo, in the 18th century Portugal gradually managed to colonise the interior Highlands. However, full control of the entire territory was not achieved until the beginning of the 20th century, when agreements with other European powers during the Scramble for Africa fixed the colony's interior borders. On 11 June 1951, the status was upgraded to Overseas Province of Angola and finally in 1973, State of Angola. In 1975, Portuguese Angola became the independent People's Republic of Angola. History The history of Portuguese presence on the territory of contemporary Angola lasted from the arrival of the explorer Diogo Cão in 1484 until the decolonizatio ...

Estado Novo (Portugal)
The ''Estado Novo'' (, lit. "New State") was the corporatist Portuguese state installed in 1933. It evolved from the ''Ditadura Nacional'' ("National Dictatorship") formed after the ''coup d'état'' of 28 May 1926 against the democratic but unstable First Republic. Together, the ''Ditadura Nacional'' and the ''Estado Novo'' are recognised by historians as the Second Portuguese Republic ( pt, Segunda República Portuguesa). The ''Estado Novo'', greatly inspired by conservative and autocratic ideologies, was developed by António de Oliveira Salazar, who was President of the Council of Ministers from 1932 until illness forced him out of office in 1968. The ''Estado Novo'' was one of the longest-surviving authoritarian regimes in Europe in the 20th century. Opposed to communism, socialism, syndicalism, anarchism, liberalism and anti-colonialism, the regime was conservative, corporatist, and nationalist in nature, defending Portugal's traditional Catholicism.

5 October 1910 Revolution
The 5 October 1910 revolution was the overthrow of the centuries-old Portuguese monarchy and its replacement by the First Portuguese Republic. It was the result of a ''coup d'état'' organized by the Portuguese Republican Party. By 1910, the Kingdom of Portugal was in deep crisis: national anger over the 1890 British Ultimatum, the royal family's expenses, the assassination of the King and his heir in 1908, changing religious and social views, instability of the two political parties ( Progressive and Regenerador), the dictatorship of João Franco, and the regime's apparent inability to adapt to modern times all led to widespread resentment against the Monarchy. The proponents of the republic, particularly the Republican Party, found ways to take advantage of the situation. The Republican Party presented itself as the only one that had a programme that was capable of returning to the country its lost status and place Portugal on the way of progress. After a reluctance of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
