Abstract

This article aims to investigate, from the field of historical discipline, the first steps of Victoria Ocampo in the public sphere based on the articulation of writing and management and the early receptions it aroused in the press. From the recovery of some journalistic notes of the time, passages from Testimonies and “Viraje”, the fourth volume of his Autobiography, together with certain entries in his correspondence, attempts to dialogue with the context of the 1920s on the national and transnational stage.
