This article presents part of the analysis of data produced in the context of master's research on the experience of quilombola women in spaces of formal and informal education. Four quilombola women were interviewed for this purpose. Based on the interviews, we mobilized the educational trajectories and meanings of schooling for the women collaborators, taking into consideration markers such as gender, race/ ethnicity, class and origin (quilombolas and rural); participation in the Association Comunidade Quilombola Córrego do Meio; insertion in the Cursinho Popular Quilombola - Córrego do Meio and in spaces of formal education. From the research it was possible to understand that the unequal society marked by racism, chovinism and other prejudices, offered obstacles to the school careers of the women interviewed. For these quilombola women, education is beyond what is built at school, therefore, it comprises the various social environments in which they circulate. However, there is a mobilization in their family around the construction of the necessary conditions for the schooling of their descendants, aiming at intergenerational social mobility.

Keywords : quilombola women; senses of education; educational trajectories.
