Description
Summary:This article aims to understand how Amália Hermano Teixeira – a woman from Tocantins/Goiana – performed in different areas of knowledge. The investigation was based on the analysis of his personal collection – which is at the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de Goiás (IHGG) – in addition to his publications in the form of articles in scientific journals, authorial books, and also, through the bibliographical production on she. The theoretical foundation was based, on the one hand, on Cultural History, with a view to a better understanding of the individual's participation as a historical agent. The results indicate that Amália was a personality who stood out in several sectors of knowledge, working in teaching, journalism, law and botany. Amália managed to give visibility to the flora of Cerrado, especially orchids, and as a collector and lover of nature, she promoted and participated in events, publishing several works with the purpose of disseminating her knowledge about education, agricultural clubs, nature and especially about orchids.
