The objective is to analyze and discuss the educational practices implemented in the meantime of female schooling fostered by the Colégio da Imaculada Conceição, the first institution to dedicate itself to the formal instruction of girls in Ceará, based on the experiences woven in “As Três Marias” (1939) , Rachel de Queiroz's novel, written from the author's experiences as a student in the boarding school system of that school. It is a qualitative study, of a documental and methodological type supported by the content analysis of the work “As Três Marias”, a process that resulted in the formulation of three thematic categories: 1) Educational practices adopted in female instruction; 2) Vigilance and transgression; and 3) The future of women educated at boarding school. We conclude that “As Três Marias” is a rich input for the study of the History of Education in Ceará, primarily when it comes to women oriented in the 20th century.
