This research had as its object of study The Intellectual Trajectory of Heleieth Saffioti and “The Woman in Class Society” (1969), a conter ideology to the patriarchal as dominant idea. Saffioti was a precursor in the lines of research lines of studies concerning women and the capitalist system of production, from the use of the Marxist referential. The work that subsidized this research presents an analysis of the education/schooling of women, from the Colony to the Republic and the aggravating factors of this process for social inequalities, as well as the alienation of women in the capitalist society and the consolidation and institutionalization of the myth of women's inferiority. Although her academic production was focused on the analysis of the material conditions of society, it is worth noting that the scientific field was built on a male presence. Male intellectuals were present during Saffioti's academic and intellectual trajectory and that, in a way, influenced her production. Thus, we defend the thesis that thought on education and society is hegemonically male, but Heleieth Saffioti stood out with her intellectual production, discussing the condition of women in patriarchal society, and contributed to the educational area and to the Marxist production, broadening the debate. The temporal delimitation focuses on the decade from 1950 to 1960, which includes her training process in the Normal School, her entry in Social Sciences, her teaching in higher education and her free teaching with the production of "The Woman in Class Society", and the context of the military regime which was unfavorable to the Marxist production.
