Popis: The purpose of this paper is to recover some chronicles that were about the domestic service in Rio de Janeiro city, which were published in the press at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Particularly, it is to analyze three chronicles produced by Arthur Azevedo, João do Rio and Lima Barreto in the early years of the twentieth century. It is proposed then to reflect on how the issue of labor and domestic workers, that earned more and more space in discussions of certain social groups, was published in the press and treated by some segments of the Rio intelligentsia in a context marked by profound social transformations arising especially from the end of slavery and the emergence of modernity in Brazilian society. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n45a1084.
