O ESPAÇO FEMININO NO EXÉRCITO: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DO HOSPITAL MILITAR DE CAMPO GRANDE

Abstract

This article discusses the use of oral sources in historiography, bibliographic and statistical sources with a focus on the feminization of the health care system at the Military Hospital of Campo Grande Area (H MIL A CG). The research is faced with the absence of specific documents on the subject, which motivates the search for new methodological approaches. Oral history emerges as an alternative to reconstruct the women’s narrative, expanding the traditional historical perspective. From this methodology, the study reflects on the construction of the historical document, highlighting its dynamic and interpretative nature. According to Luca and Pinsky (2005), the historical document is not a fixed entity, but a permanent construction that depends on the social context and contemporary interpretations. Thus, the research proposes to rethink written history, recognizing the relevance of oral sources for understanding periods and historical subjects often marginalized
