O presente artigo propõe debater dados históricos sobre a trajetória educacional das mulheres no Brasil, desde o século XIX, de modo a contextualizar um conjunto de fenômenos, como a denominada feminização do magistério. Serão recuperadas ao longo do histórico em debate, legislações de época que discorriam sobre a escolarização de meninas e mulheres e, a partir dessa temática e seus avanços, serão analisadas questões como a escola mista, a coeducação e as ações de Bertha Lutz. Esses elementos se destacam como fortes influências para a emancipação das mulheres, cujos sons reverberam até os dias de hoje. Tais ecos históricos podem ser percebidos, por exemplo, em políticas públicas atuais para igualdade de gênero, como o Plano Nacional de Políticas para as Mulheres (PNPM, SPM), que incluem a educação formal como elemento preponderante para a igualdade de direitos e o pleno acesso de mulheres e meninas em todas as searas sociais.Palavras-chave: Relações de Gênero.

Throughout the historical debate, there will be legislations about the schooling of girls and women and, from this theme and its advances, will be analyzed issues such as mixed school, coeducation and Bertha Lutz’s actions. These elements stand out as strong influences for the emancipation of women whose sounds reverberate up to the present day. These historical echoes can be seen, for example, in current public policies for gender equality, such as the National Policy Plan for Women (PNPM, SPM), which include formal education as a preponderant element for equal rights and full access of women and girls in all social sects.Keywords: Gender.

It is my aim in this article to carry out a thorough examination of the basic elements, ideology and symbolic representations which constitute the identity of a generation of schoolmistresses belonging to a crucial period in Spanish history: that of the intermediate Francoism, during the process of modernization which took place at the end of the 1950s. The investigation is based on live testimonies of schoolmistresses between the ages of 65 and 70. First, I will point out the antecedents of the profession of schoolmistress in Spain and show how circumstances made her role gradually and increasingly more important. Then I will reveal what kinds of opposition and obstacles schoolmistresses came up against and had to overcome in order to obtain professional equality with male colleagues. Finally, I will contextualize and interpret, in cultural terms, the attitudes, images and motivations, which turned out to be very symbolic, that arose during the interviews with these women. This article, which fills a large gap in research on this subject, concentrates on a very particular and decisive moment. It is my intention to invite the reader to reflect on a social phenomenon of great importance today: that of the feminization of teaching, which can be seen in most countries and whose influence can be observed, not only in a country´s educational system, but in the economic, political, religious and cultural spheres as well.

The claim has been made that a high proportion of female teachers in the state schools could disadvantage some children. This paper takes a historical perspective to suggest that such a claim has little basis in fact. Although this article concentrates on one particular paper which presents this claim, there is also awareness that comment about the large number of female teachers compared with males in the teaching service and implications for the future is now widespread. The assumptions underlying such comment clearly need close appraisal.
