DIAS, Ana Raquel Costa  e  ROCHA, Juliano Guerra. Biographies of educators in Brazilian “dictionaries of people” (19th-21st centuries). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.23, e2024-56.  Epub 17-Mar-2025. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v23-e2024-56.

This article aims to analyze the biographical writing about Brazilian female educators, who occupied distinct spaces and times and were involved in cultural, economic, political and social projects. To this end, we selected the biographical entries of women who worked between the 19th and 21st centuries, the vast majority of whom were in teaching, and whose biographies were written about in “dictionaries of people”, two of them in particular: 1) Dicionário de Educadores no Brasil: da Colônia aos dias atuais, organized by Maria de Lourdes de Albuquerque Fávero and Jader de Medeiros Britto (2002) and 2) Dicionário de Educadores e Educadoras em Goiás: Séculos XVIII-XXI, organized by Diane Valdez (2017). The analysis demonstrated that, in addition to being reference material, biographical dictionaries participate in and constitute a facet of historiography, uncovering and revealing facts and people from our Brazilian history.
