A look at female protagonism in the History Teaching in Brazil

This essay presents discussions about the approach to female protagonism in History Teaching in Brazil and in History itself, recognizing the absence of these characters in the face of a segregationist process. Therefore, female protagonism and gender research are taken as the theme. It appears that on the international stage, the suffragist movement, in the 20th century, served as an impetus to the movement of bourgeois women who sought to claim the right to universal vote, as an important mechanism of collective desire and political instrument. In Brazil, from 1980 onwards, groups called “minorities” started to be approached, which included blacks, children, transvestites, etc. As a result of the research, the debasing official representation of the woman figure as inferior to the man. The research is based on a bibliographic survey on the subject.
