Representation of the Past and Public History: the History of Women on the Internet

This article approaches the relationship between the Internet, the representation of the past, and Public History. For this purpose, the website and Facebook page named "As Mina na Historia", created in June 2015, is analyzed. This examination explores issues such as the type of representation of the past offered in this virtual space, profile of its audience and the language used by the page administrators. In order to move forward in these issues, brief comments about the teaching of women's history in Brazil are made. Finally, we seek through this approach to offer some considerations about the Public History that has been practiced in Brazil, beyond the issue of expansion of the "consumer" of history.
