Abstract

Maria Apparecida Fernandes Vieira Pinto (1911-1997) was a Public Federal employe in the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), general secretary of the Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros (ISEB) [Advanced Institute of Brazilian Studies], and confronted persecution from the Military Dictatorship, which drove her into exile in Yugoslavia and Chile alongside her husband, the philosopher and educator Álvaro Vieira Pinto. This paper gathers evidence, through bibliographical and documentary research, that allows us to outline an early biography of Maria Apparecida, presenting some analysis based on feminist hermeneutics. The conclusion is that Maria’s career is marked by work, in secretarial and typing work, especially of Vieira Pinto’s writings, as well as taking care of her husband, in addition to the interactions she experienced with an important part of the Brazilian intelligentsia, public figures of educational ideals in the 1960-1970s. Finally, women’s history is problematized for further studies in the field of Human Sciences.

Keywords: Feminist hermeneutics. Women’s history. Brazilian dictatorship.
