ABSTRACT
This chapter begins by defining what feminism meant in the Southern Cone during the early twentieth century. It is also important to analyze the characteristics that define the press of that time as it related to feminists and laborers. During that time a press for women associated with traditional political parties and one that was associated with the defense of international causes. Feminism is a phenomenon of modernity and refers to a discourse that questions the subordinate status of women within a patriarchal system, demanding improvements in the daily life of women. The subordination of women is created by sex and gender relationships that encourage the domination of women by predominantly male social institutions. Working class media in the countries of the Southern Cone are heterogeneous. They respond to the influence of ideologies like anarchism and socialism, and since the end of the nineteenth century, shed exclusions of class, regardless of race or ethnicity.
