Abstract

Throughout the formation of Brazilian society, it is known that women were delegated to conditions of subordination and servitude in relation to men, and their performance was restricted to domestic and maternal activities. But with the Industrial Revolution, and especially from the 1920s, women, in addition to gaining greater rights to study, began to occupy roles in child teaching. This picture changed over the years and the female gender was also present in higher education. With this background, the general objective of this paper aims to understand the condition of female teachers in higher education in an attempt to assimilate the main points of challenges and overcoming to be faced. To this end, exploratory and quantitative research was used, through the study of theoretical framework and the application of online questionnaires, which enabled a better understanding of the points related to female performance in Brazilian university teaching.
