Abstract

This paper analyzes gender discussions, the pre-established social role of women as a kind of “natural pattern” imposed by society in the 20th century, naturalizing actions in the performance of women's roles. The relevance of the work is established with regard to the understanding of roles as a “women's vocation” and motherhood as an “obligation”, limiting it to “household chores”. Develops an analysis of discourses on educational practices and the role of women through newspapers in Paraíba at that time, through the feminist discourse of lawyer and educator Catharina Moura, propagated at the 8th conference entitled "Women's rights" at Parahyba do Norte at the Santa Rosa Theater on March 30, 1913. In order to dialogue with the analysis of discourses on educational practices, and the role of women through newspaper prints, precisely the Union newspaper (official state agency).
