This paper approaches the female participation in the university student movement (SM) in Paraná State during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship system (1964-1985), having as the main focus of the preliminary analysis the historical process of the female insertion in the formal education and in high school along the nineteenth and twentieth century. In order to that, this paper relies on the historiography theme of the feminist studies of Joana Maria Pedro (2005) and Ana Maria Colling (1997, 2004). For the analysis of the Paraná State case, we adopted as an analysis source the documentation present in the archives of the Police Station of Political and Social Order (PSPSO), from Paraná State, and the interviews published with the militant women, victims of the state violence. From the examination of the sources, historiography and militant testimony, we built a brief history of the female insertion inside the student movement in Paraná State. From this study on, we observed how the political struggle of the women inside the university student movement in Paraná State solidified itself and gained amplitude, during the time of the dictatorship system, having similarities with the cause undertaken by women along the twentieth century, as well as being a follower of the organization of the student group and of the feminist struggle in Brazil. With the end of the authoritarian period and during its transition, these women occupied leadership positions in the most different fields of social struggle and of trade union, organizational and political representation.
