O lugar do sujeito feminino na revista curitibana A Sempre-Viva (1924-1925)

Abstract

This work discusses the literary production of women in the magazine A Sempre-Viva, published in Curitiba, in 1924/1925. There is an investigation about the place of the feminine subject in this publication, based on Gender Cultural Studies. In order to accomplish that goal, it was necessary to study the history of western women, which explains the reasons for their submission over the centuries, as well as the feminism, which explains how they reacted to that domain. Furthermore, the history of the press – feminine and feminist – was also analysed. In Brazil, it is closely related to literature. The few female writers who succeeded in publishing were fighting the rules, which were very strict, keeping women only in private places. That is why many writers used pseudonyms. At the end of the work it is possible to conclude that the magazine organizers themselves were forgotten.
