EARTHQUAKE OF 1755 On November 1, 1755, at 9:40 am, a violent earthquake hit Lisbon and other Portuguese locations. «The earthquake had its epicenter at sea, west of the Strait of Gibraltar, it reached 8.6 on the Richter scale and the strongest shock lasted seven endless minutes. Because it was Saturday, more people came to pray. The churches had the most early risers. There were 400 people in the Trindade church alone. If the tremors had started later, there would have been more victims, as the aristocrats and bourgeoisie went to the 11 o’clock mass. After the earthquakes, the landslides began. The Tagus retreated and then the strong waves destroyed everything upstream of Terreiro do Paço and beyond. It was the end of the world! #1755

Happy Pão por Deus folks! Here in Portugal, it’s the real Halloween.
Traditional in nature and not driven by consumerism (the antithesis of Halloween), Pão por Deus (in English, Bread by God, or Bread for God, or Bread in the Name of God - have come across all of them) gets the kids going door to door (during the day) in the hopes of landing themselves things like walnuts and chestnuts and biscuits and, of course, bread. Given it’s less glamorous appeal (where’s the KitKats and Snickers, right?), it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the kids would rather do Halloween these days, even though Halloween has no tradition here in Portugal. There are still some who keep the tradition alive though, especially in the more rural areas of the country.

Before the 25th of April, women were treated as inferior to men. They ruled the house, they ruled the world. Rights were so limited that it was only possible to leave the country with the husband's permission. The model educated Salazar's country.

Being the other s*x, being in the background, or even third, having a role defined by the dominant, always obeying and always allowing oneself to be violated. The booklet is long and passed from mothers to daughters, in a disciplined and emasculating inheritance. In the history of women there is inequality, discrimination and a lot of violence. Liberation, the fight for the same human rights as man, is hard and long and, even today, it does not reach every home or every mentality. Much less when there is an ideology that feeds and encourages the oppression of machismo. That was what happened in Portugal, for 48 years.

In the country of the Estado Novo, women existed to be the loving mother, the devoted wife, a true fairy of the home. Since she was little, she was trained to be like this, submissive to the patriarchal power of her father, her brother and, later, her husband. The only future he could hope for was to make a good marriage that would guarantee the sustenance of the family, which, whatever the cost, had to remain united, stable and strong; a metaphor for the regime itself. Oliveira Salazar did not allow the social order to be questioned, all signs of feminism were being silenced. Until the day mentalities began to evolve. Industrialization took women out of the home, but the truth is that a work contract was worth less than a marriage contract.

In the current ideology, women's rights were almost none. I couldn't vote. I couldn't be a judge, diplomat, military or police officer. To work in commerce, leave the country, open a bank account or take contraceptives, a woman was obliged to ask her husband for permission. And he earned almost half the salary paid to men. These and other laws were torn up on April 25th, when, a year after the revolution, women's rights were enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic.

Before April 25, a woman could be repudiated by her husband if she were not a virgin.

Before April 25, the penal code allowed the husband to kill his wife in the act of adultery, suffering only a six-month banishment.

Before April 25, women had no access to the careers of magistracy, diplomacy, military and police.

Before April 25, only 19% of women worked outside the home.

Before April 25th, the woman could not travel abroad without her husband's authorization.

Before April 25, if the woman took contraceptives against her husband's will, the husband could invoke the fact to support the request for divorce or legal separation.

Before the 25th of April, Catholic marriage was indissoluble (couples could not divorce).

Before April 25, about 43% of births took place at home.

Before April 25, nurses and fly attendants were prohibited from getting married.
