The article systematizes the historical relationship between gender and education, based on educational policies that have affected the lives of female teachers from the 19th century to the present day. It is justified by the relevance and urgency of studies on gender issues related to pedagogical work. In this way, a documentary research was carried out on educational policies in the selected time frame, in dialogue with the bibliographic review on the inclusion of women in the educational scenario, using the theoretical-methodological foundation of Senses Movements Analysis (AMS) as a reference, aiming to answer the following question: What senses of female pedagogical work are evident in educational policies from Imperial Brazil to the present day? The selected time frame relates to the process of feminization of teaching in the 19th century, when women began to take on the role of elementary school teachers, based on stereotypes attributed to them as possessing the gifted for this role. Based on this assumption, the general objective was established: to investigate the senses of female pedagogical work in educational policies from the 19th to the 21st century. After systematizing the data, the research showed that, historically, educational policies have the capacity to either reproduce the social gender roles that have shaped the sexual division of labor, especially in the work of female teachers, or to transform it, aiming at effective valorization, recognition of pedagogical work, and gender equality.
