Resumo
This study analyzed the Mexican eugenics movement, with emphasis on actions and positions
of Sociedad Mexicana de Eugenesia para el Mejoramiento de la Raza (SME), in the first half
of the twentieth century, especially between the 1920s and 1940s, from a gender perspective.
Was sought to examine the eugenics proposal of management of the sexuality and the
reproduction of Mexican society and the centrality of women in this project. The assumption
here was that the Mexican eugenics movement updated traditional representations associated
to women from a medical discourse, in which the pair wife / mother has gained strength due
to the family hereditary health and therefore the nation's health. Thus, it was intended to
examine more closely the implications of this medical discourse and proposals for
intervention of the eugenics movement in the realms of sexuality and reproduction, on the
prescriptions and proscriptions eugenic that should guide the gender relations. Ultimately, it
was intended to examine how identities and gender relations were being considered and which
proposals were being built under the Mexican social reality of that period, taking into account
that, in the global context, in which the State and the medicine have become increasingly
interested in sexuality and the sexual differences.
