Gender, Science and Technology: Traveled Paths and New Challenges

Abstract

The article analyzes scientific policies concerning gender equity in the science and technology system of the Program called “Women and Science”. This was the first program within the federal government, whose objective was to increase female participation in the scientific system and promote research on gender and feminisms. Using the information gathered, we seek to understand the impact of the results achieved by the program for consolidating the gender studies, science and technology and the incorporation of gender in the country's science and technology policies.
