This article discusses how, between the years of 2000 to 2013, women accused or tried for crimes were reported in Brazilian print media. The analysis covered the social construction of four subjective configurations that were present at the media scenario: the victim, the unbalanced, the first lady, and the emancipated. Against the background of the debate regarding issues of gender and the hegemonic capitalist order, cartography was adopted as a research strategy. It was concluded that the media is connected to live and tensioned fields of forces, in which both conservative and subversive gender assumptions are produced.

Keywords : Crime; Media; Women; Cartography.
