SUMMARY:

The present study analyzes the underrepresentation of women in Brazilian politics and the impact of this underrepresentation on the country´s democracy. Initially, the study focuses on the rights of women in Classical Antiquity and the emergency of patriarchy, the four waves of feminism, and the struggle for women's suffrage in France, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. Following that, the study delves into the concepts of "democracy" and of "equality", with an analysis of the ideas of "descriptive representation", by Jane Mansbridge, and Polyarchy, by Robert Dahl. Subsequently, electoral data from female candidates and elected officials as senators, federal deputies, and governors from 1932 until today are analyzed. The study also examines the current measures of the Brazilian Legislative and Judicial branches in combating this female underrepresentation, as well as Constitutional Amendment Projects in this regard. Conclusions are drawn regarding whether and how the underrepresentation of women in Brazilian politics weakens the country's democracy.
