Abstract

ALCANTARA COSTA, Ana Alice. Historical matrices of feminism in Bahia: suffragist struggles in the press. Aljaba [online]. 2005, vol.9, pp.11-32. ISSN 1669-5704.

In the State of Bahia, in the Brazilian Northeast region, feminist struggles began to appear in the local press around 1912, through news about terrorist actions carried out by British suffragists. This work analyzes feminist discourse in the Bahian press during the period 1912-1934, focusing on the identification of its characteristics, conceptions, lines of action and major issues, as well as on the forms of relationships established with the State and with local oligarchies.

Keywords : Feminism; Suffragist Movement; Women's Movements; Vote and Female Citizenship.
