VASCONCELOS, Maria Celi Chaves. A woman educated in the nineteenth-century: woman's writing in the Viscountess of Arcozelo's Diary. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2015, vol.53, n.39, pp.104-131. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5965/1981180253392015104.

The article focuses on woman's education in nineteenth-century Brazil, based on the Diary of Memories written by the Viscountess of Arcozelo, during 1887. The objective is the analysis of this documentary source to restore what was considered appropriated education to a noble woman, who exercised the expected functions of their social position. The theoretical framework refers to Lejeune (1997) and Nora's (1989) studies, and the writings of Barbalato (2014), Gomez (2014), Vasconcelos (2014) and Cunha (2011). The results reveal representatives features of an educated woman "in" and "for" the eighteen hundreds, and their way to face the challenges of that time.
