Este trabalho representa um aprofundamento sobre o cotidiano de um grupo de mulheres lavadeiras as margens do Rio Lençóis na cidade de Lençóis na Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, e sobre as quais venho me debruçando e maturando, há anos, ao que diz respeito ao modo de vida destas mulheres, suas histórias e memórias de conquistas e superação dentro da sociedade lençoense. Por entender que a diversidade cultural de nosso país nos impinge a olhar para outros grupos e que há em Lençóis diversos, passei a refletir sobre um grupo cuja característica principal seria ser formado por mulheres e que pudesse dialogar com a minha história de vida a partir dos meus ancestrais. Acredito que, tenhamos muito a conhecer e aprender com as culturas e saberes dos vários contextos socioculturais ainda desconhecidos para muitos, e que fazem uma diferença exorbitante quando esquecidas dentro de um contexto histórico.
