The study entitled "Francisca Clotilde and Emília de Freitas: female voices in the 19th century press of Ceará", describes the participation of these writers in the newspapers that circulated in Fortaleza at the end of that century, among them: Pedro II, Gazeta do Norte, O Libertador and Cearense. Francisca Clotilde Barbosa de Lima and Emília de Freitas were teachers and poets and left in the pages of these newspapers their idealizations in verse forms. They defended the end of slavery and the participation of women in the intellectual movements of the 19th century and thus participated in cultural and social movements, in favor of these flags.
