Abstract

In this paper we do an exploratory study of the platform Delas in order to research how digital news aimed at women construct a post-feminist sensibility, based on a neoliberal appropriation of feminisms and their causes. To this end, we focus on the platform Delas and on the news published on International Women's Day, March 8th, in order to understand how universes of post-feminist sensibility are produced, namely through guiding news values, the dicursive role of women and the type of political agency proposed to women readers.
