Despite she made The Women of Ryazan, in 1927, a very successful film in her country and known even in Brazil, the Russian-Soviet filmmaker Olga Preobrajenskaya (1881 - 1971), who worked as director between 1916 and 1941, is practically unknown from the historiographies of world cinema and of her country. This article seeks to scrutinize who this director was, the works she carried out, highlighting her works until 1927, when she released The women of Ryazan and from then on, it seeks to point out the erasures and silences of the bibliography that relate to gender but also political issues. Through the observation of her professional trajectory as a director, whose direction of the films she shared with her husbands, it is possible to follow not only the construction of a work, but also the political and ideological changes and oscillations of Soviet Russia, which impacted her work and her personal life, and culminated at the end of her career. Preobrajenskaya, who between 1916 and 1927 released five films for children, was invited by Sovkino in 1927 to direct one of the six films commissioned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Revolution and was censored. Currently, when looking for the work of women in cinema, new impediments arise for recognition of Preobrajenskaya.
