LIMA, Marcelo; CARIELLO, Lisia Nicoliello and DAMASCENO, Rosângela Aquino da Rosa. Criticism to the erasing of women in industrial education: the history of female insertion in the Federal Technical School of Espírito Santo (1950-1970). Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.26, e260064. Epub Oct 08, 2021. ISSN 1809-449X. https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782021260064.
We analyzed the insertion of women in education and in Brazilian society, based on their access and permanence in industrial education courses at a federal institution in the period from 1950 to 1970. By comparing and crossing the sources, we question the version official about the beginning of female participation in the group of students that would have occurred in the 1970s when the institution was already called Federal Technical School of Espírito Santo. However, operating methodologically with the intertextuality of documents and photographs, on the one hand, we highlight attempts to erase the processes of exclusion of women in this historical context and, on the other hand, we conclude that the beginning of female insertion had occurred well before, even in the years 1950, when the teaching unit was still named Escola Técnica de Vitória.
