The news of the worsening of the illness of Emperor D. Pedro II and the consequent investiture of Princess D. Isabel as regent of the Empire in 1887, made the expectations of a possible Third Reign multiply in the press from different parts of the country. As politics in nineteenth-century Brazil was essentially male, the constitutional provision that allowed female succession to the throne was no guarantee of acceptance among various segments that believed that the domestic sphere was the space reserved for female roles. This paper intends to discuss about this moment in which perceptions of the imminent reign of Isabel I were being built, from the periodicals that circulated in the provinces of Bahia and Sergipe, trying to identify how the press of these provinces, located geographically distant from the Imperial Court in Rio de Janeiro, projected – either supporting or rejecting – the possibilities of a monarchy headed by a woman considered to be excessively religious and married to a foreigner. We intend, therefore, to discuss the social and political conceptions that permeated the speeches of such periodicals, at a time that swarmed questions about the abolition of slavery, the idea of federalism and the republic, seeking to analyze whether the sex of the heir to the Brazilian throne would have was one of the factors that undermined support for the continuity of the monarchy in the late 19th century.
