Rosiska Darcy de Oliveira is arguably the most influential and visible feminist in Brazil. The emergence of the feminine as a paradigm for social change constitutes the landscape of her essay In Praise of Difference.Twentiethcentury intellectual thought has eroded the foundations of Western cultureeducation, science, politics, economics, and social relationsand challenged the dialectic of the masculine and feminine, the public and the private, the political and the personal. As the end of the century draws near, Darcy de Oliveira sees women entangled in a search for identity that, paradoxically, takes them back to the very tradition of nurturing that has been used throughout history to demarcate their boundaries and restrict their access to the public sphere. Women are subjected to a dual messageto become a man while remaining a womanand they are confronted with impossible odds: to be simultaneously themselves and the Other.Darcy de Oliveira argues that the repression of feminine culture and the rejection of its input to the remaking of civilization will impoverish humankind. She sees the task and responsibility of women to be the full expression of their own history, culture, and life experience, thus enabling humankind to regain its undeniable richness. Only through recognition and acceptance of such difference without hierarchy will gender equality be achieved.
