This paper aims to highlight the importance of Heleieth Saffioti’s inaugural study A mulher na sociedade classes: mito e realidade (1969) both for the development of the Brazilian feminist thinking and for Latin American sociological research developed by and for women. Following Antonio Candido’s instructions (2013), we analyze the book as one who observes a triptych. In the triptych’s center is historic materialism; in its left side is a profound analysis of the role carried out by women in western capitalist societies in general and in Brazilian society in particular; in its right side is a fierce critic of the myths surrounding the notions about the way in which men and women approach science.
