Resumen:
For a long time, historiography was written from a Eurocentric, masculinized and elitist perspective. More recently, historic science has been giving spaces and voices to many who were silenced. The goal of this research paper is to analyze the historical construction of the Araputanga/MT municipality in the period of the colonization, in the decades of the 1960s and 1970s, making visible the life narratives of women, identifying their lived knowledges and silences and their resistences. Besides this, there is the understanding that the teaching in the schools have a sexist matrix, thus one proposes the study of gender for the deconstruction process of this form of social understanding, propitiating the possibility of the birth of more inclusive schools, with new ways of interpreting the world. The research is phenomenological, with a qualitative characteristic, pre-supposing the comprehension of the different phenomena present in the reality studied. For its construction, 8 interviews were used with women colonizers. The interviews are filed in the archives of the Center of History, Education and Culture of the city. Bibliographic readings and written and digitalized documents stored in the referred organization were also used. The data were analyzed based on a feminist methodology facilitating the re-significations of the historical writing of the period in question, granting visibility to the history of the women and their knowledge.
