Resumo: In this study I sought to identify changes that have occurred in women s behavior over the last thirty years, with the family being the main socializing agent. The study took as a historical landmark the 1960s, analyzing the life experiences of women from this generation, belonging to urban, intellectualized middle classes, in the practices and social relations they establish. Although the period analyzed covers thirty years, I also sought to find out prospects this group had for the future. Two issues guided this focus: on one hand, discovering how political, economic and cultural facts influenced the organization of their families of origin and how they absorbed and reproduced them in their children s socialization. On the other hand, I was interested in finding out how women that lived through a period of political authoritarianism, with the subsequent confrontation of this context with the organization of civil society, incorporated the transformations that occurred in the transmission of values to their children, especially in raising their daughters. The hypothesis that guided my investigations was that, although there were continuities in the way that families have socialized girls, intellectualized women belonging to a higherincome social class, that were raised during a period of major national and global changes are more apt to absorbing cultural innovations, overcoming prejudices and assuming new standards of behavior. Historical and cultural processes that allowed for changes and constants in genderoriented child rearing may thus become clearer. The empirical procedure sought to recover, through the Life Story technique, this group s trajectory in its interrelation with the families of origin and the ones they formed, investigating the transitions that allow for changes in women s behavior, but that also maintained many inherited values, although they indicate possible alternations in the near future. The study showed that, despite the prevalence of the economic factor as the fuel for changes, the ideals of feminism, identified in the beginning with the middle classes, have been assimilated in recent decades in many cultural and ethical aspects by segments of women. They influenced in relations between sexes and generations, in the way in which conjugal unions are formed with greater emphasis on the quality of the relationship , in procreation and in issues tied to authority and power in the family
