Memórias de uma militante amazônida

Abstract

Text intends to answer the following questions: How did I become a teacher? How did I become a militant in defense of the public school? How did I become a woman who fought and struggles to remain autonomous, free without losing femininity and the ability to be moved by the constant learning that life has given me? How did I become this woman who fights for a more egalitarian society? What is the place where I am? What paths did I take to get here? Why did I make certain choices? I narrate the trajectory showing how I became a teacher, woman and activist, showing that it is a reflective moment, based on the praxis that I developed in the teaching process. When establishing the connections in this trajectory, I highlighted the paths I followed and the reason for certain choices. I showed the contradictions, the relationships between the parties, the connection with the whole and the mediations made in the process of being a teacher / educator. As I always recorded the remarkable moments of my existence, the analysis was carried out based on these documents. What was convenience became a choice, I wanted to be a teacher, a political activist and a woman engaged in the struggle for freedom, both personally and collectively.
