| Sumario: | 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. In thisway, it is possible to observe how these women participated in the public sphere and the changes they perceived not only for their society but also for their own femininity.Keywords: Nigeria, Gender, Print media, colonialism, Political participation |
