Resumo
Gender inequality is persistent in many areas, despite advances in the last decades. For this reason, the investigation of its origin and the reasons for its permanence is essential. In Brazil, the institutionalist view regarding the gender issue is still little studied. This work aims to present the contribution of Veblenian Institutional Economics to the study of the feminine condition. The choice of this school of economic thought as the central point of the research is due to Thorstein Veblen's unique perspective on the subject. In his theory, gender inequality assumes a fundamental role in the origin of present-day institutions, such as private property, marriage, the patriarchal family, the social division of labor and the class system. In order to fulfill this objective, we contextualize the discussion regarding women in the antecedent period to Veblen by reviewing work by Adam Smith, William Thompson, Anna Wheeler and John Stuart Mill. Thus, we review Veblen’s work on the condition of women. Finally, we synthesize some Veblen-inspired applications of Institutional Economics on gender issues in a more up-to-date context
