| Sumario: | Created in 1962, the witch Sabrina was represented in several versions in comics, animations, TV shows and films.

This article deals with a bibliographic review of academic productions in the field of Communication about the series, hopefully for the systematization of the results. It was concluded that, in general terms, the research starts from the study of the negative stereotypes associated with the figure of the witch in history to discuss patriarchal oppression through the feminist perspective, placing the series in the contemporary context and identifying the historical problems present in the struggle for autonomy of the protagonist in fiction, even if it is not exempt from reproducing racist stereotypes. |
