This study presents the discourses of gender in the national press during the 2006-2011 government of the first woman president in Chile, Michelle Bachelet. The underlying hypothesis of this research is the triangulation between gender, discourse, and symbolic violence in the press. The findings reveal sexism, social control, and xenophobia.
