“E onde estavam as mulheres?” A presença das mulheres nos livros didáticos de História do ensino médio (2015 – 2017)

Abstract

This assignment aims to analyse how women are treated on textbooks of History used in High School public schools. At first, the whole historic path of teaching materials was explored from its emergence in antiquity to the institutional development of the Brazilian State for its formalization, for that to understand the political and ideological measures that it produces in Brasil. Researches from Circe Bittencourt, who developed important debates about teaching materials, are used in this project, which was done through the discussion about how women’s history starts to gain force in Historiography, by whom it is produced and how it arrives or not in schools, bringing the most diverse problematisations about the spaces that women occupied and occupy in history by the point of view from Michelle Perrot and Rachel Sohiet. The discussion has its analytics basis a teaching collection of History approved in the PNLD 2015 – 2017, showing and discussing how women are inserted and illustrated throughout the chapters, taking into account writers, spaces and teachers, aiming at the arrival of academic production to elementary education.
