摘要:In this paper the biological theories of the XIX century about the mental inferiority of the women are examined. The analysis is centered in evolutionism, phrenology and studies of the brain (with special attention to the proposal of Moebius). The author analyzes these theories showing that the ideology about the inferiority of women acts in the hypotheses that are sustained and in researchs that are carried out. The ideology acts in background assumptions and external values on women that are operating in scientific practice in these scientific areas. The conclusion is that these theories confirm the dominant gender stereotypes.
