The main aim of this thesis is to analyze some editorials of the weekly newspaper "O Sexo Feminino", by Lady Francisca Senhorinha da Motta Diniz, published from 1873 until 1889, firstly at the city of Campanha da Princesa in the state of Minas Gerais and lately in Rio de Janeiro, according to Linguistic Historiography perspective, based on Koerner's principles of contextualization, immanence and adequation (1996). Its line of research is History and Description of Portuguese Language. This way, we inquired how metaphorical resources that, according to Lakoff and Johnson (2002), are cognitive processes which manifest argumentatively, on editorials of this weekly newspaper contributed to the development of arguments on behalf of women during the nineteenth century. We also investigated how the entire process of production, publishing, and distribution of the weekly newspaper "O Sexo Feminino" was established. To rebuild the spirit of the times, according to the principle of contextualization, we present how Brazil was during 1800's, how women lived on nineteenth century, the feminism, women's literature, and journalism during the 19-th century and the life and work of Lady Francisca Senhorinha da Motta Diniz. In line with the principle of immanence, these elements had been studied in the light of books like Aristotle's Rhetoric (2005); Ernesto Carneiro Ribeiro's Serões Grammaticaes (1915[1890]); Manoel da Costa Honorato's Retórica e Poética (1879) and Luís José Junqueira Freire's Elementos da Retórica Nacional (1869). We can also observe the application of the principle of adequation while presenting books like George Lakoff's Metaphors We Live By (2002) and Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrecths-Tyteca's The New Rhetoric: Treatise of Argumentation (2005). Therefore, we try to identify argumentative resources used by Lady Francisca Senhorinha da Motta Diniz in her editorials and point out the characteristics of argumentation and figures of speech, through Classical Rhetoric and Grammar, linking them as well to Perelman and Olbrecths-Tyteca's The New Rhetoric Theory and to Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Considering the results achieved, we can assure that Lady Francisca, based on feminist ideals, looked for grounds to build an argumentation in defense of women's civil and political rights and gender equality, exposing the abuses of patriarchal society during the 19-th century and leading the way for the establishment of feminist struggle on the following centuries through female protagonism in all facets of society
