Mãe jornalista: histórias de amor e dor de mulheres de Teresina

Abstract

This report underpins and explains the process behind the creation of the reportage book Mother Journalist: Stories of Love and Pain from Women in Teresina, which portrays the daily lives of four student-mothers from the Poeta Torquato Neto Campus in Teresina. With distinct, intimate, and often painful stories, these women opened up about the challenges they face in balancing motherhood with academic life and the job market in Piauí's journalism industry. The book adopts a narrative and informal language, aiming to reflect on these women's experiences amid the difficulties encountered at UESPI and in the professional sphere, while also raising awareness within the academic community about the existence and specific needs of these mothers.
