This study seeks to bring together considerations about the construction of a trajectory. In this article the focus will be on Abigail Botelho Reis' professional activities between 1910 and 1935, a period in which she worked as a teacher and also in the press, in the citys of Leopoldina - MG and Rio de Janeiro - RJ. In this sense, we seek to understand whether her participation in the press gives her the position of cultural mediator, which in the sense of Gomes and Hansen (2016) includes subjects who produce knowledge and communicate ideas through the press and other actions linked to political and social intervention. The documentary research used as sources the newspapers in which there is evidence that Abigail was a contributor: Gazeta de Leopoldina, O Paiz and Jornal do Brasil, and the biographical dictionaries which indicated that as well as being an elementary school and Normal School teacher, she was a writer, editor and member of the Damas da Cruz Verde. These experiences led to the need to reflect on the limits and possibilities of a woman who grew up in a region with a markedly patriarchal structure, without however giving up analysis from the intersectional perspective of gender, race and class, in order to problematize which women were able to occupy public spaces. Although Abigail's professional career is representative of a privileged class and race, the relevance of studies on women's history for the history of education cannot be overlooked, as it reveals networks of sociability between women and their spaces of activity.
