Abstract

O inesperado surto pandémico, à escala global, da covid-19 veio colocar no topo das agendas políticas mundiais questões de saúde pública. Tendo este facto em atenção, o presente texto aborda o ensaio Cassandra, escrito em 1852 por Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), enquadrando-o na longa era vitoriana e relacionando-o com a
“questão feminina” e The Subjection of Women (1869), de John Stuart Mill (1806-1873).

Bearing this fact in mind, this article presents Cassandra, an essay written in 1852 by Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), setting it in the context of the long Victorian age and relating it to the “female question” and
The Subjection of Women (1869), by John Stuart Mill (1806-1873).
