MOCINO-GONZALEZ, Isabel  and  DEBUS, Eliane Santana Dias. Biographies of women for childhood in the Brazilian and Galician context. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.2, e75262.  Epub May 01, 2022. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2022v30n275262.

Achieving a more just and balanced society depends, to a large extent, on the education that girls and boys receive. For this reason, this work analyzes, from a critical-comparative methodology, the women’s fictionalized biographies published in recent years in Brazil and Galicia (Spain), specially aimed at children and youth. We argue that those works are suitable instruments to promote a more egalitarian vision of the relevance that women and men have had throughout history and that they are works of literary and aesthetic quality that should be known and used by teachers and mediators between the book and reading so that girls and boys have access to female references that have remained silenced by the patriarchy.

Keywords : Fictionalized biographies; Co-education; Women; Brazilian literature for children and young people; Galician literature for children and young people.
