The work tells a bit about the history of four women born in the nineteenth century and who worked in the press of Ceará between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: Emília Freitas, Francisca Clotilde, Alba Valdez and Henriqueta Galeno. They were some of the first women to publish in newspapers at a time when the majority of women were illiterate and did not even have access to studies, and the press consisted mostly of men. They also had a great contribution to Brazilian and Ceará literature. The purpose of this work is to rescue the legacy of those women who was forgotten by historiography, revealing it to the public in a literary writing. The narrative approaches not only the work of each of them, but aspects of their experiences, verified through research. During the execution work, interviews were made with family members, research in books, documents and in collections of old newspapers. The research brings a history of the Brazilian and Ceará press and, therefore, also of the history of Brazil and Ceará during the period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is based on concepts such as feminine press and feminist press.
