The present article examines the the feminization of the teaching profession based on an analysis of the teacher training course at the Dom Aureliano Matos Faculty of Philosophy (FAFIDAM) in Limoeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil. The methodological route of this research incorporates the theoretical framework of the History of Education, the History of School Institutions, and the History of Women. Also analized the elements of the training of women as teachers during the first years of the FAFIDAM, through data collected in official documents, as well as those obtained through interviews with women who attended the teacher training course at the FAFIDAM during the decades of the 70s, 80s and 90s of the 20th century. We aimed at understanding the social-historical context in which these women were inserted in the course, and how the Institution was responsible for the consolidation of the feminization of the teaching profession. The analysis of the data indicates that the consolidation of the feminization of teaching can be attributed to two antagonistic factors: for some, the lack of opportunities for other academic careers and for others, a "vocation" linked to personal desire, the result of family afctors and/or a social construction in favor of teaching as a profession.
