Abstract: The article examines images of women in the periodical O Vulgarizador, which sought to bring science into the public forum in nineteenth-century Brazil. An analysis of these images helps us recognize some of the issues of ongoing concern in the magazine: the United States as a model of progress and industrial development, the importance of World Fairs, and transformations in Brazilian society and women's role therein.
