SUMMARY:

This thesis analyzes the performance of the Filhas da Caridade in Salvador, between 1853 and 1914. Within a historical and social perspective, the sources lead to the approach of elements of the critical analysis of the discourses produced by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and Santa Casa de Misericórdia Bahia, where patriarchal gender relations are used as a category for discussions on the construction of power analogies for women and men. The Confraria da Caridade was one of those founded by Luísa de Marillac and São Vicente de Paulo in France in the 17th century. They became sisters of apostolic life, that is, of active life, and started to work in different spaces, in the care of education, health and assistance to the poor and quickly expanded in Bahian lands. They had the support of the bishops of the Catholic reform, as was the case of Dom Romualdo, in defense of the project of the ultramontane bishops; liberals, however, did not miss the opportunity to criticize them and were uncomfortable with the power exercised by them in Santa Casa. Employees of Misericórdia in the administration of the Recolhimento do Santo Nome de Jesus, Asilo dos Expostos and others, were not always the desired submissive nuns, dedicated exclusively to charity by the said feminine nature, they pressured the patriarchy by disagreeing with providers, police authorities and doctors . Sister Rassier was for thirty years the superior who was in charge of the most important unit of the institution: the Hospital da Caridade, and there, she did not stop straining her hierarchy, taking different attitudes from what was established for her by her gender and documented in the regulations and contract. Hence the understanding that everyone pressures power in some way, regardless of their results.
