The choice of visual autoethnography to investigate the gender relations of social networks is daring that can open a proposal about ours, such from gender relations; the construction of the image of women in cyberculture. In this article, we propose to analyze, from autoethnography, our representation as women in the social network Instagram. For this, we rely on studies by Reed-Danahay (1997), Pelias (2007), Holt (2003), Chang (2008), Lakoff (2008), Goffman (1975), Levy (2003), among others, to challenge questions intrinsically, the empathic process between the gazes and that we start from the female profile of the networks, in this one from a social identity similar to the female profile in the field, to build their own identities. In the process of protagonists we look for our quest, we look for our scene. This movement, in our view, may be symptomatic of a culture in which the stereotype of female beauty is linked to thin and white bodies. So, by reception of silencing, we prefer to represent ourselves directly, but that we appreciate our work and things don't.
