This dissertation seeks to analyze the connections between consumption,
communication, and women s movements in nineteenth-century Brazil.
Particularly, it focuses on the different dynamics of consumption present in
periodicals that fought for women s emancipation in the late 1800s. Therefore, this
research, bibliographical and documental in nature, relies heavily on primary and
secondary sources. Theoretical considerations begin with the trajectory of
consumption within the social sciences and humanities and its conception as a
symbolic system essential to the maintenance of capitalism and modern-contemporary society. The studies on women are examined next, with a special
focus on the condition and role of women in Western society. The analysis begins
with the querelle des femmes in the late fifteenth century and advances towards
more recent discussions, about identity and anticolonial issues. Then, the focus
turns to the history and transformation of Brazilian press during the 1800s, when
the medium served as a platform for political debates and challenges. The period
known as the Tropical Belle Époque (1870-1920), which witnessed significant
changes in Brazilian society at the time, including, but not restricted to, the
emergence of a considerable number of women s periodicals dedicated to the
defense of women s emancipation. With a solid theoretical and historical
foundation, the research corpus, collected from eight different papers that circulated
between 1852 and 1900 in Brazil, is presented, analyzed, and compared. Hence,
consumption is not only a way to satisfy physical or biological needs but a complex
symbolic system. It is argued that the existence of different consumption dynamics
associated with women s journalism in the late nineteenth century indicates the
existence of a feminist movement that sought to establish itself more concretely on
the national scene, albeit with more difficulties than its American and European
counterparts. The women s movement in Brazil, like others before it in the Old
Continent, might have emerged in a disconnected manner but is of great relevance.
Within the sphere of consumption, commercial relationships are developed, which
allows for significant connections between owners, editors, and newspaper writers
with powerful sociopolitical ambitions and various commercial establishments,
influential individuals, or different professionals.
