Abstract
An article in homage to Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz. Diverging from the majority of studies on the history of- Brazilian Sociology, the author considers the intellectua trajectory of Maria Isaura from the perspective of how her writings were received abroad, beyond Brazil’s intellectual frontiers. The publication of many of her books in foreign languages sheds light on various aspects of the Brazilian intellectual field in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The article also situates the author, a prominent woman of her time, within the context of gender relations during the period when she worked.
