Algunos sujetos coloniales, reacios a los cambios y a la pérdida de su soberanía, gestaron diferentes resistencias que empezaron a proliferar luego de la segunda posguerra. Las mujeres nativas de Nigeria y otras colonias, que experimentaron una subordinación colonial y de género, también formaron parte de las resistencias y discusiones políticas de la época. En esta línea, el objetivo del trabajo es analizar cómo se fue construyendo una agenda política sobre problemáticas de género. Para poder llevar a cabo este trabajo se utilizaron diarios de la época: el Southern Nigeria Defender, el Nigerian Eastern mail y el Eastern Nigerian Guardian. La aproximación a este campo nos permite pensar no solo las problemáticas que pusieron en agenda las propias mujeres nativas sino también la propia sociedad, como las discusiones en torno al “deber ser” de la mujer. De esta manera, se puede observar cómo participaron estas mujeres en la esfera pública y los cambios que percibieron no sólo para su sociedad sino para su propia feminidad.

Colonialism generated endless transformations in native societies. The colonial subjects, reluctant to change and to the loss of their sovereignty, gestated different resistances that began to proliferate after the second post-war period. Native women from Nigeria and other colonies, who experienced gender and colonial subordination, were also part of the resistances and political discussions of the time.In this line, the aim of the work is to analyze how a political agenda on gender issues was built. In order to carry out this work I used newspapers of the time: the Southern Nigeria Defender, the Nigerian Eastern mailand the Eastern Nigerian Guardian. The approach to this field allows us to think not only about the problems that the native women themselves put on the agenda, but also about society itself, such as the discussions about the "should be" of the native woman.
