Women and Telejournalism:

Presenters or anchors who work for major television stations are memorable to the public. Viewers who have followed certain programmes over the decades remember who presented the news and how. This book analyses the presence of women in presenting or anchoring news programmes from the beginning of journalism on Brazilian television to the present day, focusing on the first female journalists who stood out in these positions. The main objective is to evaluate how and when women began to be part of the group of presenters and how this presence has developed over the decades, through a statistical and analytical comparison with the development of the role of women in society.
