Qualquer trabalho que se insira na área dos Estudos Anglo-Portugueses deverá ter como objectivo primordial reconhecer e analisar a presença de um Outro (estrangeiro) – o anglo ou o luso – num contexto nacional, o que pressupõe sempre uma reflexão de carácter comparatista fundamentada na imagologia e na relação entre culturas. No caso em apreço, propôs-se revisitar essa relação intercultural através do material produzido pela imprensa portuguesa, nas primeiras décadas do século XX, a propósito das sufragistas britânicas. Para tal, afigurou-se relevante apresentar um breve panorama das relações luso-britânicas entre 1903 e 1918 para, depois, analisar os movimentos das mulheres inglesas e portuguesas no respectivo período. Ao examinar o modo como as sufragistas inglesas foram veiculadas na imprensa periódica lusa percebeu-se também a forma como os(as) jornalistas portugueses(as) se projectaram a si próprios(as) e o Portugal contemporâneo nessa representação. Para tal, tornou-se fundamental conhecer o perfil dos(as) articulistas, caracterizar os periódicos que noticiaram os acontecimentos ocorridos em Inglaterra, bem como averiguar que jornais optaram por transmitir uma imagem positiva ou negativa das suffragettes. O eco das acções das sufragistas britânicas no periodismo português proporcionou um encontro com o universo da própria portugalidade, à época ainda muito avessa ao progresso feminino.
The primary objective of the any piece of work in the area of Anglo-Portuguese studies should be to recognise and analyze the role of a (foreign) Other – whether British or Portuguese – in a national context, which inevitably presupposes a comparative approach based on imagology and the relationship between the two cultures. In the present case, it was proposed to review this intercultural relationship through reports and articles on the British suffragette campaign which appeared in the Portuguese press during the first decades of the twentieth century. To do so, it was necessary to construct a brief overview of Portuguese-British relations between 1903 and 1918 to compare English and Portuguese women’s movements during the period. By analysing how the English suffragettes were portrayed in the Portuguese periodical press it became possible to understand how Portuguese journalists projected both themselves and contemporary Portugal in such articles. To achieve this aim, it was fundamental to discover the writers’ profiles, to characterize the newspapers that reported the events which took place in England, as well as to verify which newspapers chose to communicate a positive or a negative image of the suffragettes. The echoes of British suffragettes in the Portuguese press provided an encounter with Portugal itself, a Portugal which was still averse to female progress.
