Sumario:This paper analyzes the section “Assumptos Femininos” (“Female Topics”), published in the Brazilian newspaper Correio da Manhã (Rio de Janeiro, 1901 - 1974), fo-cusing on the 1920s. It aims to understand the profile of its female readers and how this section helped to build the idea of a modern newspaper. It draws special emphasis on the fashion images presented and the articles published in this section. Considering Correio da Manhã was the bestselling newspaper in Rio at the time, its influence on the public opinion must also be addressed. The research was based mainly on material taken from the newspaper and on secondary sources about the historical context of Rio de Janeiro, its press, and the 1920s fashions. The aim is to offer new information about fashion in the newspaper, therefore enabling further developments.
