She was a professor at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP) and visiting professor at the School of Social Service Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She created a Gender Studies Center, Class and Ethnicity at UFRJ, supervised theses at PUC-SP and retired from UNESP (Araraquara campus), of which he was professor emeritus. Although she had her academic positions, she did not affiliate with other organizations as she did not want to lose her "freedom of thought".[2] In 2005, she was included in the collective statement "1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize", coordinated by the Swiss organization Women for Peace Around the World, which aimed at recognizing the role of women in peace efforts. Among the 1000 women were 51 Brazilians.
