Abstract

The present work aims to analyze some aspects about the installation of Educandário Nossa Senhora dos Anjos, in the second half of the 20th century, focused only on the formation of girls based on christian principles. The sources are Louro (1994; 2003), Del Priore (2000), Scott (1995), Foucault (2009), Perrot (1995). In the second half of the 20th century, european and american woman from the bourgeois classes began to occupy spaces in society, with the permission to contribute with activities in social assistance, in the care of people and in the education of children. This study highlights the need to raise research in the contribution of gender studies. In the 1950s, the local elite of Abaetetuba prioritized female education. Men and women received instruction in the same environment. This condition did not please catholic families. Therefore, an school for the instruction of girls is founded.
