The history of women in teaching is a fundamental chapter in the fight for rights and gender equality. For centuries, teaching was one of the few professions accessible to women, becoming a space of resistance, but also of conflict and inequality. The notes address female empowerment and the fight for gender equality, discussing how society imposes limiting roles on women from childhood and how education can be a tool for transformation. This e-book is an invitation for education professionals who wish to critically reflect on the historical processes that shape women's teaching careers and how this journey is reflected in the current scenario, as well as rethink the need to address gender issues in the classroom as a contribution to building a more equitable society.
