Sumario:In this article we study, from a historical and sociocultural perspective, a set of suicide cases that occurred in the city of Buenos Aires between 1859 and 1888 to analyze the letters left by women who committed suicide, and its relationship with the feminine horizon of expectations.

At the same time, we investigated whether the suicide assumed responsibility for her actions or blamed others for what happened.
