Representações do feminismo, do movimento feminista e das feministas na grande imprensa carioca nas primeiras décadas republicanas

Abstract

In this thesis, we aim to analyze the representations of the feminism, feminist movement and feminists in the Carioca Press during the passage from the 19th to the 20th century. First, we will seek to understand the way in which the periodicals of great circulation in the period, such as O Paiz, Gazeta de Notícias and Fon - Fon, collaborated to delimit the role of women in the private space. Next, we will discuss the feminist movement and the way in which the press ridiculed its demands, disseminating the image of feminists as masculinized women who acted against family related values. Finally, we will highlight the trajectories and different ways of acting of Myrthes Gomes de Campos and Leolinda Figueiredo Daltro, women who were part of the feminist movement in the first republican decades, and who acted in the conscious search for female emancipation.
