Resumen

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e compreender a atuação de Anna Joaquina Jansen à frente dos
negócios da família sob a perspectiva da pesquisa do gênero feminino em história da contabilidade. Para tanto, o
período compreendido por esta pesquisa foi o século XIX, tendo como ponto de partida o ano do casamento de
Anna Jansen com o Coronel Izidoro Pereira, 1822, encerrando-se em 1869, ano de seu falecimento.
O enquadramento teórico utilizado na investigação é retirado da literatura que explora os conceitos de
gênero e contabilidade, sendo também considerado o conceito de emancipação oriundo desta relação, uma vez
que a contabilidade, enquanto prática social, é capaz de atuar como ferramenta emancipatória em benefício dos
grupos sociais menos favorecidos. O presente estudo tem como principais fontes os documentos manuscritos do
século XIX, dentre os quais se tem o inventário de Anna Jansen, registros portuários, assim como solicitações
dirigidas a D. Pedro II.
Mediante a análise dos manuscritos e dos jornais da época foi possível constatar que Anna Jansen se
tornou detentora de uma das maiores fortunas da região ao ficar viúva, e por meio desta fortuna conseguiu atingir
lugar de destaque na sociedade maranhense. Sua atuação representa um romper dos paradigmas que tendem a
anular a participação feminina em atividades econômicas e políticas, e levou ao seu reconhecimento como uma
mulher muito à frente da época em que viveu. Embora não se tenha conhecimento de registros técnicos mantidos
por Anna Jansen ao longo de sua vida, constata-se por meio dos documentos primários analisados que possuía
grande destreza para a administração das suas propriedades e seus bens.
