VASCONCELOS, Maria Celi Chaves; SILVA, Márcia Cabral da  and  VIEIRA, Cristina Maria Coimbra. HISTORY OF WOMEN AND EDUCATION: transgressions, resistances, and empowerments. Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.70, pp.2-11.  Epub Feb 23, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.69625.

Throughout history, women, resisting the discourse and institutions that subordinated them, managed to exercise creative activities, and promote displacements from the position that limited them to marriage, motherhood, and domestic life. Textile industry workers, nurses, teachers, activists were some of the positions they occupied because of access to reading and education. However, for them, there were many struggles in the social field, especially when it came to working class women and black women, discriminated against by prejudice that overlapped class, race and gender. In this Thematic Section, which focuses on stories of women in dialogue with education, we have gathered articles that contribute to reflecting and questioning the relationships that have been established between women and society, in different contexts and temporalities. From the expansion of research on the history of women, protagonists who stood out in various fields of knowledge, many, including art and writing, as well as those who projected themselves in society using the tribune to claim civil and citizenship rights that have been taken away.

Keywords : women; female resistances; empowerment; gender and education.
