This is a reflective and critical bibliographical research on the issue of feminism in education, highlighting the formative role of schools. The structure initially presents a brief history of feminism and its growing connection with education and, subsequently, analyzes the issue of feminism in the current neoliberal context.

Louro, Chimamanda N. Adiche, Tomaz Tadeu da Silva and other researchers and educators. The main purpose is to develop feminist education with elementary school students.
