Abstract

This article discusses some of the texts written about women by men as well as those written by women in the Goan magazine O Académico (1940-1943). Even though O Académico is not particularly aimed at women’s readership, but at a broader audience – the “Goan youth” – it contains articles that deal with the question of women in the spheres of science, politics and literature. As one of the magazine’s objectives was to “emancipate Goan youth intellectually”, we understand that young women’s education was also within the their scope, placing the question of gender as central. The Goan intelligentsia that made up the editorial board of the publication revealed their desire for modernization by showing their preoccupation with forward-looking ideas and by providing the space for women to publish their texts.
