This paper aims to indicate the relationships between women and work through observation of "Almanachs de Pelotas", taking specific elements of analysis as its texts, photographs and ads. The aforementioned publication, edited annually, circulated in Pelotas between the years 1913 and 1935, with the main objective to divulge the modern progress of the city. As are woven observations of female work promulgated by the before cited elements, it can also be suggested that the delimitation of the periodic's public was mainly the male and more conservative, which may explain the discourses around the ideal of women as housewives and, in cases of outside home work, with limits based on assignments of gender roles. It discusses, through this text, the historical invisibility of women, an issue that, if on one hand is notorious in the Almanachs, paradoxically, is the visibility afforded by them that enable the analysis of possible works for those women. Hence the title of the article placed in a dubious way about the fact that the periodical consideres or not these issues.
