Imprensa, movimento de mulheres, feminismo e violência de gênero no oeste do Paraná nas décadas de 1970 e 1980

This article analyzes some representations of the women’s movement, feminism and gender violence in several newspapers that circulated in the western region of Paraná in the 1970s and 1980s. The material published on these themes also dealt with gender relations and forms of violence against women. The discourses on feminism were largely ambiguous and vacillated between the movement of history and changes in gender relations. Some aspects of continuity were represented as submission, resignation and goodness in the construction of the feminine; violence was understood as exclusively masculine; and the defense of honor was accepted to justify violence against women in the regional editions on the Doca Street case
