Abstract

In the first half of the twentieth century, a whole series of newspapers, journals and daily literary essays, mainly dedicated to discuss women?s role in society, appeared in Brazil. The Revista Feminina was one of the most representative women?s press publications during the first republican decades, particularly between the 1920?s and 1930?s. During this period, the magazine had an important role in the making of a public and literary room related to women?s social demands that have been ongoing since the mid of the nineteenth century. The main focus of this study consists in analyse how the magazine dealt and related itself with franchise, labour and schooling struggles, themes that, unlike many specialized researches presupposed before, did occupy a significant space in its pages (AU)
