SUMMARY:

This research aimed to analyze the gendered social relations present in the academic and intellectual trajectory of Rosa Ester Rossini, a pioneer in gender studies within the field of Brazilian Geography. In 1988, Rossini had her livre-docencia thesis approved, entitled “Geography and Gender: women in the sugarcane farming of Sao Paulo”. At that time, the gender category was still emerging in the debates within Brazilian geographic science. The investigation was based on the understanding that gender inequalities are rooted in structures of domination culturally reproduced within the scientific field, particularly in Geography. In this context, the research was guided by the following questions: why are women still silenced today? And how does this silencing manifest in Brazilian Geography, in the society we live in, and in the Geography we produce? As a methodological approach, the study adopted feminist phenomenology based on Simone de Beauvoir. Regarding its procedures, it was characterized as exploratory research, based on bibliographic and biographical review, as well as analysis of personal archives. Two fieldworks were also conducted, along with unstructured interviews and the administration of a questionnaire. The results showed that Rosa Ester Rossini is recognized for her pioneering role in discussions on gender and rural labor. Her contributions brought visibility to rural women workers through geographic research and promoted a new perspective on the sexual division of labor and gender roles within the humanistic stream of this discipline. Thus, it is understood that geographer Rosa Ester Rossini has contributed to the history of geographical thought, particularly concerning the emergence and development of the epistemology of the gender category. However, despite all her influence and legacy, this has not been sufficient to affirm that Rossini has been fully acknowledged within geographic science. For future research, it is proposed to deepen the analysis of institutional aspects within USP (University of Sao Paulo), examining how these issues affected her and other women as researchers and professionals in the Department of Geography and the Graduate Program. Furthermore, there is an interest in exploring how these dynamics influenced the construction of a New Geography, proposed and developed by the group of students within the institutional space of the University of Sao Paulo (USP), to which she belongs.
