| Abstract | |
The object of this dissertation is the trajectory of the medical doctor Elsimar Coutinho, author of the books "Menstruation, the useless bleeding", "The sex of jealousy" and "The birth discontrol in Brazil", among others. Coutinho is known by the apology of menstruation suppression and the defense of the necessity of birth control as a state policy in Brazil. Coutinho's (auto)biographical narratives reveal a long trajectory of scientific researches in the areas of contraception and human reproduction, and allow us to acess the diverse associations at stake in the process of stabilization of contraception, its clashes and senses.
