| Summary: | Popular and devotional in nature, the Folia de Reis was an all-male party. However, the woman has always been inserted, but in invisible functions. Nowadays, they seek their insertion also in the ritual sphere, and arise the folly and owners of folias. Not coincidentally, among the groups surveyed, those led by women are of Umbanda membership. On the other hand, in Afro-Brazilian religions, traditional female leadership has been losing ground. The objective of this paper is to discuss the inverse relationship observed between the gradual increase of female autonomy and visibility in the androcentric universe of Folia de Reis and the gradual loss of relevance in the current scenario of Umbanda and Candomblé, which historically counted on effective female participation. |
