Abstract

MILANI, Ada. Irene Gil and Sofia Pomba Guerra: voices of Portuguese women in Mozambique from the pages of Itinerário. Ex aequo [online]. 2019, n.39, pp.137-152. ISSN 0874-5560.  https://doi.org/10.22355/exaequo.2019.39.09.

This article aims to discuss the female participation in the Mozambican magazine Itinerário (1941-1955), specifically in the 1940s, before the process of African independences. Among the different contributions, I decided to analyse part of the works of two middle-class Portuguese women living in Mozambique, Irene Gil and Maria Sofia Pomba Guerra, who perfectly embody two opposing concepts of the mission of women in the colonial society.

Keywords : Magazine Itinerário; Mozambique; Irene Gil; Sofia Pomba Guerra.
