História da educação- Atuação docente feminina

Abstract

This research seeks to highlight the multiple facets of female teaching in early childhood education, unveiling the layers of challenges, prejudices and struggles that women face in their professional journey. It focuses on identifying the main elements of daily life and school culture, as well as what leads to the strong presence of women as teachers in early childhood education. When exploring the trajectory of women in education, their strong and influential presence is notable, especially in early childhood education. However, this influence is often overshadowed by the devaluation of women's work, a trend with deep roots and manifests itself in several ways, including the association of teaching tasks with domestic responsibilities. The marginalization of female teaching in early childhood education goes beyond discriminatory practices, reflecting tensions between the value of education and traditional female roles.
