description This paper is a gender approach to physical education for women in the 1930s and 40s in order to verify its agreements and contradictions. Revista de Educação Física, issues 1 to 63 (1932-1949), and Educação Physica, issues 1 to 49 (1932-1945), which deal with physical education and physical activities practised by women, supported this reflection.
