Podcast Ep 5 - Ramona Ferreira: "La voz silenciada entre las llamas"

In this episode, we delve into the story of Ramona Ferreira, one of the most audacious voices in 19th-century Paraguayan journalism. Founder of the newspaper La Voz del Siglo (The Voice of the Century), Ramona Ferreira used the written word as a tool for critical thought and freedom. From its pages, she questioned the social structures of her time and defended the right to free expression in an era when women rarely had a place in public debate. Her courageous stance made many uncomfortable. They tried to silence her and erase her influence, but her legacy has withstood the test of time. Today, she is remembered as a symbol of intellectual courage and the fight for a more open and reflective society. Ramona Ferreira was a pioneer who defied the norms of her time, paving the way for new generations of women to participate in shaping thought and public opinion in Paraguay. To discuss his life, his thinking, and the impact he had on the history of Paraguayan journalism, we are joined by Noelia Díaz, a graduate in Communication and a researcher. A necessary conversation to understand how the voices that dared to speak out in the past continue to inspire the debates and struggles of Paraguay today.
