History of women at the BNCC of High School: the Silence that persists

Abstract

We have moved forward, but certain challenges regarding the approach of the women’s history still remain in various social spheres. In this article, we analyze the approach of this history and gender relations in the brazilian Common Core for High School (BNCC), through the documentary research methodology. First we discussed how the women's historical narrative is marked by silence, constituting a social incompleteness. We argue that this silence is a result of interested selections, linked to the ways in which women are positioned discursively and to unequal gender relations. We understand that in the context of a reactionary advance in Brazil, the current curricular changes intensify the silence of women in history and in the school curriculum.
