Resumo
This regional study provides subsidies for the understanding of images created by the society and by the Judiciary about the women in the province of Espírito Santo, in the nineteenth century, described in the criminal records of the Public State File of Espírito Santo, in which they appear as defendants. Based on the speeches collected from the accusation and defense witnesses or from the announcements of police and juridical authorities, it is glimpsed that, although it was desired an idealized model of women, compatible to submission, cautiousness and kindness, in the every day life, many of them are insurgent against this model. The initial chronological period was 1830, due to the edition of the Imperial Criminal Code, and the end was 1871, with the Law nº 2.033, when the police inquest was formally held, occasion when the judges and the appeals court judges stopped accumulating the functions of judiciary police. Almost all women under any kind of accusation were absolved. However, in a delimited time, the woman as defendant, appears only in the criminal records related to the period of 1853 up to 1870. However the Justice has absorbed these women, the witnesses’ reports make evident that, in the social environment where they are inserted, there was a natural condemnation by the fact of not being part of the idealized model.
