Abstract

For a long time, women's experiences were made invisible by traditional historiography, however, the current narratives assumed by historiography brought women to the center of the historical narrative. Therefore, the present article intends to reflect on the normative discourses about women and their social relations in the 19th century, recorded in the journal The word that circulated in the Alagoas cities of Penedo and Pão de Açúcar. With the general objective, to identify what would be the role of women in this society in which they are inserted. The research methodology used here was developed in a qualitative study of documentary and bibliographic nature. Analyzing the pedagogical discourse of the periodical that sought to standardize women's behavior, guiding the behavior they should follow, we can understand how the construction and propagation of this ideal model of a female profile widely publicized in publications aimed at women in the 19th century took place.
