MATOS, Sheila Cristina Monteiro  and  FARIA, Lia Ciomar Macedo de. The intellectual Maria Yedda Leite Linhares: memories and dialogues. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.24, e240026.  Epub June 02, 2019. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782019240026.

The text analyzes the performance of the intellectual Maria Yedda, municipal secretary of education in Rio de Janeiro (1983 to 1986). First woman to be a full-time professor in Brazil, Maria Yedda, as secretary, played a leading role in the formulation and implementation of the Centro Integrado de Educação Pública (Integrated Centers of Public Education), for about 1,000 full-time students in the school space. The work follows a dialectical historical methodology, presenting a qualitative and memorialist character. The study shows that in both political and cultural spheres, Maria Yedda constructed an edifying work, whose structure sought to refer new perspectives in the conception of the educational process, fighting against chronic illiteracy and taking care of alternatives for poor children to enter the literate world.

Keywords : intellectuals; Centro Integrado de Educação Pública; Maria Yedda Leite Linhares.
