Life

Mautner was born in 1935 in Pest County in Hungary, moving to Brazil at the age of three. Her mother, Rosa, was a feminist and Jewish communist who arrived in Brazil as war was declared in 1939.[1] She was brought up in Lapa where her family ran a hairdressing business.

Mautner was a Zionist and feminist. She became a professor of social psychology at University of São Paulo (USP) which is where she had studied social science. She did not became a psychoanalyst until the 1980s but she was to have a long career.[1] She was an associate member of the Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise de São Paulo.[2]

In 2000 she became a columnist for the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. She wrote a point of view for Psicologia where she discussed how recognition of people's skills is a powerful driver for achievement. She noted that not everyone desires this as she said that there is not enough for everyone at the top of a pyramid. A shape that allows this is not a pyramid but a cobblestone.[2]

In the last year of her life, Regina Favre, arranged for the publication of her last book which was an anthology of her work explaining her success.[3] Mautner died in São Paulo in 2019 of multiple organ failure.[1]
