Leopoldina Ferreira Paulo (1908-1996) was a physical or biological anthropologist. She was the first woman to be awarded a Doctorate by the University of Porto in Portugal.
Leopoldina Ferreira Paulo' was born in the parish of Vitória in the city of Porto in Portugal on 12 January 1908. She completed high school with distinction in 1928. She then attended the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto between 1928 and 1933, graduating in Historical-Natural Sciences. While taking this degree she completed a qualification as a teacher of drawing and, more or less simultaneously, studied a range of transdisciplinary subjects including Aesthetics and Art History at the Faculty of Letters of the University (1930 –1931), as well as Figure Drawing, Statue Drawing, Living Model Drawing, Ornate Drawing, Modelling and Styling at the School of Fine Arts of the University (1931 –1933). She also took exams in the subjects of General Mathematics and Descriptive Geometry. [1]
During the first Portuguese colonial exhibition and World's Fair, held in Porto in 1934, Paulo worked under the direction of Prof. António Mendes Correia to present scientific investigations of Indians in Portuguese colonies. She also took part in the first National Congress of Colonial Anthropology (Porto, 1934) where she presented, in collaboration with Drª Emília Duarte de Oliveira, a paper on “Anthropometric Canons of Indigenous Women of the Colonies”. Paulo then taught in the city of Guimarães during the academic year 1933 –34 before enrolling in and completing a Pedagogical Sciences Course at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Coimbra, Portugal's oldest university. She also taught in private secondary education, in Porto, between 1935 and 1942, while studying for a Doctorate and carrying out other functions within the university. She became assistant professor of anthropology at the Faculty of Sciences of Porto, in 1935. In 1944, she became the first woman to obtain a Doctorate from the University of Porto, after defending a thesis entitled “Some morphological characters of the hand in the Portuguese”. She received widespread publicity in the press for her achievement. However, in an academic atmosphere that remained prejudiced against women, her attempts to secure a permanent staff position at the university were not successful until 1970. She retired in 1976, one year after obtaining tenure. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Paulo became a member of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Antropologia e Etnologia (SPAE – Portuguese Society of Anthropology and Ethnology), which was based at the University of Porto and regularly organized scientific meetings and published a journal. Unlike many similar societies, the SPAE was noted for welcoming women as members. [5] The SPAE was for a time oriented towards physical or biological anthropology, under the influence of its founder, António Mendes Correia (1888 - 1960), as opposed to social or cultural anthropology. This tendency is reflected in the fieldwork of Paulo, as indeed it was in the subject of her Doctoral thesis. [1] [2] [3] [5]
Throughout her academic career, Paulo carried out anthropological research on the peoples of what were at the time Portuguese colonies, under the direction of Mendes Correia. She participated in an Anthropological and Ethnological Mission to Guinea (1946-1947) and was also involved in the work of the Junta de Investigações do Ultramar (Overseas Investigation Board) of the Ministry of the Colonies (Junta do Ultramar) of the authoritarian Estado Novo government. In the 1950s and 1960s she received several scholarships from German institutions. She published numerous scientific works, including: [2]

The Cinema of Portugal started with the birth of the medium in the late 19th century. Cinema was introduced in Portugal in 1896 with the screening of foreign films and the first Portuguese film was Saída do Pessoal Operário da Fábrica Confiança, made in the same year. The first movie theater opened in 1904 and the first scripted Portuguese film was O Rapto de Uma Actriz (1907). The first all-talking sound film, A Severa, was made in 1931. Starting in 1933, with A Canção de Lisboa, the Golden Age would last the next two decades, with films such as O Pátio das Cantigas (1942) and A Menina da Rádio (1944). Aniki-Bóbó (1942), Manoel de Oliveira's first feature film, marked a milestone, with a realist style predating Italian neorealism by a few years. In the 1950s the industry stagnated. The early 1960s saw the birth of the Cinema Novo movement, showing realism in film, in the vein of Italian neorealism and the French New Wave, with films like Dom Roberto (1962) and Os Verdes Anos (1963). The movement became particularly relevant after the Carnation Revolution of 1974. In 1989, João César Monteiro's Recordações da Casa Amarela won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and in 2009, João Salaviza's Arena won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Several other Portuguese films have been in competition for major film awards like the Palme d'Or and the Golden Bear. João Sete Sete (2006) was the first Portuguese animated feature film. Portuguese cinema is significantly supported by the State, with the government's Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual giving films financial support.
The Big Three is the nickname of the three most successful football clubs in Portugal. The teams of S.L. Benfica and Sporting CP, both from Lisbon, and of FC Porto, from Porto, have a great rivalry and are usually the main contenders for the Primeira Liga title. They share all but two of the Portuguese Football Championships ever played, and generally end up sharing the top three positions. None of them have been relegated from the Primeira Liga either, having been participants in all editions since its first season in 1934–35. Benfica's lowest position was 6th in 2000–01, while Porto's 9th place finish in 1969–70 makes the closest any side has come to relegation. Sporting's worst finish was a 7th place finish in 2012–13.
ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa is a Portuguese public tertiary education institution. It is located in the city centre of Lisbon, in Cidade Universitária, adjoining the Institute of Social Sciences (ICS) and Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT) of the University of Lisbon. ISCTE was formerly called Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa, but its full name was dropped in 2009 when it became a university institute of foundational nature. As of today, ISCTE is widely considered a fully-fledged public research university despite its traditional designation, as reflected in national news coverage of the performance of Portuguese universities internationally and open, external assessments by international organisations. ISCTE Business School holds institutional accreditations from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and Association of MBAs (AMBA).
