Self-writing in the XIX century periodic press. Eduarda Mansilla in her journalistic writings

This paper pretends to recover Eduarda Mansilla's figure, shaped by herself in her own diaries, offered by Marina Guidotti in his book Escritos periodísticos completos (1860-1892), published in 2015 by Corregidor editorial, in Buenos Aires. The investigator carries out a compilation of Mansilla's diaries, dispersed throughout different newspapers and magazines, meaning an important conservation task and allowing future studies about Mansilla's work which has not been entirely valued. She executes a vast preliminary study in spite of exposing and presenting Eduarda's public figure, built in her articles, from autobiographical features that include her as a preponderant figure in the end of the nineteenth-century Argentinian society. Her individual experience configures as a starting point to enquire and intervene the social experience of the nation's configuration.
