The dissertation analyzes the emergence and legitimization of female pastoral ministry in Brazilian Pentecostal churches at the end of the 20th century. The analysis will be carried out through the literary discourse present in the work of Pastor Antonieta Rosa Vieira, an important Pentecostal evangelical author of the period. The focus of observation will be on the books that the author wrote for the female audience between 1987 and 2009, totaling four works: The woman and the little things (1987); The Christian Woman, Her Image in the Mirror of the Word (1990); Women's Work in the Church (1997); The Christian Woman and the Challenges of Leadership (2009)
