摘要：This paper presents an analysis of the participation of evangelical women in the elections that ocurred in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the year of 2000. Capital of a state where both the governor and vice-governor are evangelicals, Rio de Janeiro can be deemed as a rich laboratory for studies regarding the new trends and alliances among religious groups and political factions. With twenty-three female candidates running for the Municipal House of Representatives and one representative running for mayor, the evangelicals seem to be well aware of the need to stimulate the presence of women in the political arena. On the side of this, as one compares female participation in the elections for a seat in the Municipal House of Representatives, one can verify that, while women represented 22.9% of the overall candidacies, the rate of female candidacies among evangelicals was of 25%. Such rates suggest that there are not significant differences between the evangelicals and the surrounding society in what is concerned to female participation in the political debate and disputes. Who these women are, what they stand for and the meaning of their candidacies for the female population of Rio de Janeiro are some of the issues addressed in this paper.
