dc.description	In the 16th century, the Portuguese medicine underwent changes that reflected the experimentalism provided by the Iberian overseas expansion. Inheritors of the Hippocratic-Galenic tradition, Portuguese doctors insisted on the reproductive functions of women’s bodies and created explanations and remedies for problems related to menstruation and childbirth. This tradition was transplanted and adapted to Brazil, where it was confronted with new practices of cures. In this article, I will analyze the ways of thinking the body of women in this colonial encounter based on the official discourse of medical treaties. Afterwards, I confront this discourse with the medical practices used in the Captaincy of Paraíba, based on manuscripts of Portuguese and Brazilian archives.	en-US
dc.description	No século XVI, a medicina portuguesa passou por mudanças que refletiram o experimentalismo proporcionado pela expansão ultramarina ibérica. Herdeiros da tradição hipocrática-galênica, os médicos portugueses insistiram nas funções reprodutivas do corpo das mulheres e criaram explicações e remédios para problemas relacionados à menstruação e ao parto. Essa tradição foi transplantada e adaptada ao Brasil, onde foi confrontada com novas práticas de curas. Neste artigo, analisaremos as maneiras de pensar o corpo das mulheres neste encontro colonial com base no discurso oficial de tratados médicos. Em seguida, confrontaremos este discurso com a prática médica exercida na Capitania da Paraíba com base em manuscritos de arquivos portugueses e brasileiros.	es-ES
