This article examines the nineteenth-century Greek press as a communicative system through which gendered visibility, meanings of work, and women’s public identities were discursively constructed within a non-Anglophone national context. Drawing on qualitative content analysis of three historically significant newspapers(Aion, Akropolis and Empros), the study explores how women’s public presence, professional activity and social roles were framed, constrained, or selectively made visible. The findings show that women were predominantly represented through relational identities linked to men or family structures, while references to autonomous professional activity were rare and fragmented. At the same time, the press gradually incorporated selective forms of female visibility in areas such as education, the arts, philanthropy and socially acceptable occupations, particularly towards the end of the century. By focusing on media discourse, symbolic visibility and communicative practices, the article demonstrates that historical press narratives actively shaped gendered public identity and the symbolic boundaries of women’s work, rather than merely reflecting social change.

Global statistics confirm a growing number of women in leadership roles, yet gender gaps and underrepresentation persist. This paper reviews feminist literature addressing traditional, contemporary and alternative leadership models, noting that leadership is still predominantly conceptualised through traditional gender categories. Compared to men, women face many gender-based barriers and challenges in developing their leadership careers. In Croatia, efforts to increase gender equality and promoting gender awareness in the business sector are visible through the specialised online portal Women in Adria. The paper analyses mediated meanings and experiences of leadership, gendered challenges, and inequalities in the business sector from the perspective of women leaders from different industries and sectors. A thematic analysis of 38 articles published on the portal in 2024 identified four key themes: women on the leadership path, forms of gender (in)equality, work–life (im)balance and motherhood.
