Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to reflect on the insertion of women in teaching. From a methodological point of view, the work is configured as a descriptive memorial, whose source for analysis was the formative memories and memories of the author. The reflections carried out allowed us to problematize the historical process of the constitution of professional and training choices and the struggles of women for better salaries, for greater appreciation of the teaching profession. Based on the reflection of our personal history, we conclude that, as women, teachers, teaching professionals or other professionals, it is essential to consider the historical process and the behaviors that we (re)produce in society. Our choices and stories reveal broader social, political and economic contexts.
