Mulher e tecnologia: um estudo sobre a participação feminina brasileira na criação de produtos e processos industriais

Abstract

The role of women in the development of mankind has always been important, and this statement seems unquestionable. However, many times the development of mankind is told by the history of the technique and the technology and, in this history, the number of women inventors is very small if compared to the number of men inventors. There are many reasons to this. One of them is the restricted access to education and socialization over the centuries, in almost all the world. This situation has changed very much in the last decades. One indicator is the number of women in technical professions like engineering and science computer. The aim of this paper is to present the project: Women and Technology in Brazil which will research the Brazilian female participation in the creation of products and processes that solve technical problems and had scientific research in its creations.
