A inserçãodo movimento feminista na mídia digital

Abstract

This paper brings, through a deductive methodology, bibliographic and historical data on the political and social context of the origin of Brazilian’s press. The press, a principle dominated by men, had a writing mainly aimed at women, outlining the list of expectations regarding their behavior and beauty. In due course, the research will expose the trajectory of the Brazilian female press: of course, the emergence of the female press reflected the transformations that society was going through, and gradually it was conquering space and influencing in a new way to be expected and thought about female behavior, differently of everything that was preached previously. The women left the backstage and started to take center stage. In this sense, the research will also seek to expose the reaction of society to what was considered an “affront” with the emergence of the feminine position, especially in the political context of the 1960s, which still occurs today. All this aiming to effect the guarantee of women to access to reading, writing and journalism, in the period that includes 1900 until the 2000s, when digital media appeared. These were steps taken by women, not without effort and struggle, aiming to defend the rights of freedom of expression, information, and citizenship, also aiming at demarcating in the field of writing a constitution of a properly feminist press, between 19^th and 20^th century.
