With that situation now subsiding the visibility of women's prominence and leadership is substantial when it comes to consolidating and reinforcing a genuine change in tendency Women's social visibility is a requirement for justice and a basic condition for the quality of any democratic State. Visualization provided by the media will be decisive to that social visibility. This article is guided by that search and is based on a comparative analysis of the Spanish daily newspapers with national circulation and those of a regional nature, specifically in the regions of Castilla and Leon (Spain). Quantitative findings are presented.
