Más allá del tabú: Prensa, mujer y suicidio durante la Restauración

Advances in historical science during the last decades have brought contributions as relevant and necessary as the application of the gender perspective within a wide range of research. Recovering the voice of half of humanity is an exercise in commitment to history and the search for a truly universal history. In this line our paper is inserted, which from the base of the History of the Press and Social History, intends to break the taboo that is established between women and suicide during the Spanish Restoration. The analysis of the discourse formed by the publication of information on events starring women who have opted for the use of suicide is aimed at getting to know these women better, their characteristics, motivations, social and economic context, discovering the power and moral relationships in force during the period studied.
