The proposed analysis addresses the discourses and subjectivity in the female body during the early decades of the twentieth century, and in this particular text elects the city of Fortaleza, capital of Ceara, noticing the constructions and (re) invention of identities and discourses to the female body. The Revista Ilustrada Bataclan, directed to the feminine universe which circulated in the city during this period, is analyzed as a historical source in dialogue with a cultural and social construction that was intended to be modern.
