Resumen
In this paper, I make use of a feminist perspective as “the critical lens” to examine previous anthropological works. More specifically, I apply the lens to examine Robert Murphy’s (1956) proposed analysis of the so-called ‘disharmonic system’ found by him to exist among the Mundurucu Indians of Northern Brazil.
