The women surveyed revealed that, in the capitalist society, highly based on issues of race/sex/ethnicity/gender and class and reinforced by patriarchy, they are the most exploited and occupy the most precarized works and are still the main responsible for childcare and household chores. According to data collected, they spend an average of 75 minutes more per day than men in domestic activities, and this number is double when it comes to women with children. In the reports of the researched, from childhood to adulthood, the relationship with care is very strong, reinforcing that the condition of women in capitalist society is grounded in a construction of being a woman and how this construction can interfere in time Intended for schooling. In all interviews, the care, whether of the children or others, as well as the paid work, are directly related to the school routes, that is, the schools were always left in the background.
