Entre marés e memórias: educação e trabalho das mulheres da Pedra do Sal - Parnaíba/PI (1980)

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the daily lives of women in a fishing and seaside community on the coast of Piauí (Pedra do Sal). To this end, the statements of three native women from the Pedra do Sal community were analyzed through Oral History, along with other academic works about the community. The study examines how education and women’s work operated in the community during the 1980s in Parnaíba (PI), with the goal of understanding what kind of educational background and what work opportunities were available to these women in a community where traditional labor and informal education predominated. The 1980s, the period under analysis, were marked by contextual transformations in the infrastructure of the city of Parnaíba, which affected the local community.
