Abstract
The recent recovery of the newspaper La Violeta places Monterrey, Mexico, within the history of the press during the 19th century, when women from northern Mexico were actively involved in writing and managing newspapers. This paper especially emphasizes La Violeta as a space dedicated to publishing literary texts, columns, and essays written by women, which focused on moral and social issues but, above all, on women’s identity and their right to education. This article offers a review of two periods of the publication’s history, as well as a discursive analysis of the newspaper’s content and how women expressed themselves through their writings. The conclusions point to the construction of an imaginary that highlighted new possibilities for women outside the domestic sphere.
