Founded in the city of São Paulo in 1924, O Clarim d’Alvorada, Brazil’s first independent black newspaper, became a vehicle of cultural inclusion for a class of middle-class black men excluded from social advancement on the basis of their skin colour. Between 1924 and 1927, O Clarim d’Alvorada writers appealed to constructions of gender, women’s writings, and symbols of Mãe Preta in an effort to foster the cultural inclusion of middle-class black men.

British representations of courtesans, or nautch-girls, is an emerging area of study in relation to the impact of British imperialism on constructions of Indian womanhood. The nautch was a form of dance and entertainment, performed by courtesans, that originated in early Indian civilizations and was connected to various Hindu temples. Nautch performances and courtesans were a feature of early British experiences of India and, therefore, influenced British gendered representations of Indian women.
