The text explores the place of women within the journal il manifesto (1969-1971). A twofold perspective, both biographical and thematic, first of all allows us to retrace the comparative paths of the intellectuals who contributed to the feminization of this journal. Then, by listing the texts signed by the women editors, the dynamics of specialization and the specific treatment of each theme, including the question of women, always situated within a much broader political reflection, are brought to light. These journalists/intellectuals are indeed participating in a real reconfiguration of the rules of gender assignment in the media and bequeathing to the following generations, through the daily newspaper created in 1971, not only a writing device but also a device for action.
