Abstract

By means of this article, constant and repeated sexual differences in XIX
century medical discourses are analysed, between suicide committed by
men and that one comitted by women. I’m seeking the basis used in order to
support such difference and questioning the possibility of thinking about
the difference between a male and a female gender of committing suicide,
standing out, in this normative process, the role attributed to Education and
its preventive task.
