Museu da mulher brasileira

Abstract

The history of sociocultural development is told through a perspective that is almost always narrated in favor of the ruling class, be it colonizers, scientific or religious. When we talk about the history of Brazil, we know the process of invasion and slavery, and how our country was built over the centuries. History has always focused on men, not offering space to tell the experiences of women, nor the glories. Women were part of great revolutions, helped in the cultural and physical construction of the country, where they were subjected to incalculable forms of abuse and violence that created miscegenation. One of the ways to understand the reality of Brazilian women today is to get to know their trajectory of struggle and conquest. White, indigenous, and black women had a different reality, each one went through a process of repression and discrimination, being a determining factor for the functioning of today's society. With the lack of representation and space in the social body, the importance of a place that tells the trajectory was noted, to enhance and encourage knowledge of the origins of great protagonists.
