Abstract
This article analyzes how the theme Education was debated in the 1st South American Congress of Women in Defense of Democracy (CAMDE), which took place in April 1967 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In this work, it was intended to verify on how the right-wing women organizations of Brazil related to the agenda of the brazilian civil-military dictatorship. Based on the analysis of the written disclosure of the debates that took place at the event by the press, are examined the ideas defended by the women's group about the directions that national education intermingled with the political context. For this, news published in newspapers of the time and also documents produced by CAMDE about the event were analyzed. As a result, it can be seen that many of the topics defended by the women and the associations they represented were in line with the educational policy conducted by the dictatorship.
