    <mods:abstract lang="eng">Rachel de Queiroz's work is frequently analyzed in terms of the author and her protagonists' female condition. The presence of women is visible in the heart of the author's works, as well as the presence of "feminine" qualities in the most "rigid" and "masculine" canon of literary realism from the Northeast. Recently, some critics have accused her of defending traditional power distribution between men and women, consenting women's inferior position determined by Brazil's patriarchal society. 'Dôra, Doralina' shows that Rachel de Queiroz's conception of "women's place" is less soft and more ambiguous than critics believe. Aware of her secondary position, Dôra, the protagonist, attempts to find self-affirmation while clashing against deep-rooted obstacles: men and women's patriarchal distribution of power and social class issues that affect both men and women. These conflicts do not arise between men and women as much as between mother and daughter; ladies and workers; the city and the countryside; law and marginality. Only when they emerge from that broader matrix, concepts like "femininity," "tenderness," or the love for children—that fascinated early critics of Rachel de Queiroz's work—acquire deeper meanings.</mods:abstract>
    <mods:abstract lang="por">Freqüentemente a obra de Rachel de Queiroz é analisada em termos da condição de mulher da autora e de suas protagonistas. Notam-se a presença de mulheres no centro de suas obras, e sua introdução de qualidades "femininas" no canon mais "duro" e "masculino" da literatura realista do Nordeste. Recentemente, críticas negativas acusam-na de defender a distribuição tradicional de poderes entre os sexos e a posição de inferioridade das mulheres estabelecida pela sociedade patriarcal brasileira. ‘Dôra, Doralina’ mostra que a posição de Rachel de Queiroz em relação ao "lugar da mulher" é menos terna e mais ambígua do que a crítica conta. Consciente de sua posição secundária, Dôra, a protagonista, tenta uma auto-afirmação que se choca com obstáculos originários não só da distribuição patriarcal do poder entre homens e mulheres, como também daquela entre classes sociais, que afetam tanto homens quanto mulheres. Os conflitos que resultam têm lugar, mais do que entre homem e mulher, entre mãe e filha: patroa e empregados; cidade e campo; legalidade e marginalidade. É só enquanto parte dessa matriz mais ampla que adquirem significado conceitos como a "feminidade", a "ternura" ou o amor às crianças que, na obra de Rachel de Queiroz, tanto atraíram os primeiros críticos.</mods:abstract>
