Daura Santiago Rangel: uma educadora

Abstract

The book “Daura Santiago Rangel: Uma Educadora” (Daura Santiago Rangel: An Educator) has a biographical tone at first glance, but it is much more of a posthumous tribute than anything else. It brings together in its pages several accounts from people close to her, such as colleagues, students and family members of Professor Daura Santiago Rangel, an academic at the Paraíba Academy of Letters, the first woman to be director of the Lyceu Paraíba School, and a professional who was highly respected in her field. In addition to accounts, the book also includes texts and letters written by the professor herself, in which she spoke about the role of an educator, the devaluation of the teaching profession, as well as photographs of her life and poems written by her.
