The object of analysis is the ABC Literary school newspaper, produced by and for high school students. The objective is to understand how the division between the sexes is present in an objectified state and in an incorporated state, in the bodies and habitus of agents, acting as representations of formal female education from a historical-sociological perspective based on Chartier and Bourdieu. Content Analysis is used as a research technique. The results show that when discussing the representation of women, we find the dominant representation of the male figure, established as a productive character of power relations. These representations are not mere descriptions, they constitute and build realities as they produce an effect on agents. Thus, the relationship of domination between men and women is established in all spaces, not only in the family, but also in the school universe, and gives visibility to the permanence of the structure of the relationship of domination between men and women. Finally, it is recommended to adopt, based on this reading, a vigilant and continuous attitude to try to destabilize the divisions and problematize conformity with the “natural”.

Keywords : education of women; student press; training secondary school students; symbolic domination.
