This paper presents the results of investigation in the area of History of Education, with a focus on examination of education of women in the liberal and Catholic conceptions. Privileged sources of this investigation are two important books in circulation in Brazil from the 1930s, namely, “Noções de Sociologia” (“Concepts of Sociology”), by Madre Peeters (1935), and “A Educação da Mulher” (“Education of Women”), by Afrânio Peixoto (1936), entitled “Eunice ou a Educação da Mulher” (“Eunice or Education of Women”) in later editions. To undertake this study, the reference bibliography was compared with the content laid out in the two works mentioned. The material analyzed leads to recognition of the antagonisms in the way of liberals and the way of Catholics of taking up the process of education of women and understanding their role in society.

Keywords : education; Church; women.
