ARAUJO, Marta Maria de  and  ALCANTARA, Paulo Basílio de. THE FINE LINE BETWEEN BLACK WOMEN, SCHOOL EDUCATION AND PROFESSION (RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, 1931-1963). Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.70, pp.212-226.  Epub Feb 23, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.66918.

With the intention of continuing the discussion about women’s schooling in Brazil, this study reflects about the scope of the right to elementary education, mainly of ten black women who studied in Rio Grande do Norte between 1931 and 1963, in intersection with the human web of family social origin, school studies and professions. Methodologically, for the analysis of the documental corpus (semi-structured interviews and official documents), we use the understanding of the right to education of Cury (2002), Chizzotti (2020) and Anísio Teixeira (2009), essentially by conceiving it in the amplitude of the human and social dimension of each person. In conclusion, the researched documented corpus reveals that the right to school education of the ten black women studied was a result of the schooling society, although with limited and unequal socio-educational opportunities: part of them (three), who studied elementary education on farms, ranches and settlements, did not continue their studies to the next secondary levels, besides having exercised different professions from those of the seven women who had the right to continue their studies at the secondary level (four) and university level (three) in the period in question.
