The interest of the British Spectator and its followers In women's education and in the formulation and propagation of the Western ideology of femininity Is Widely acknowledged. Nevertheless, this genre also engendered experiments with alternative views about women. La Spectatrice, La Pensadora Gadttana, and the Female Spectator are examples of periodicals which resisted the very Ideals codified by the genre followed. This office attempts to fill a gap in the study of the spectatorial press, by analyzing the tone and content of these putative female spectators, and by stressing the innovative contributions of these periodicals to the spectator genre.
