In recent times, academic research has focused on how the concept of the "social" permeates notions of science and knowledge, in the methodologies employed, the results discussed and the relationship between theory and practice. Against this backdrop, feminist epistemology has gained prominence, criticizing the traditional model of science and advocating an interdisciplinary methodology that incorporates individuals from different fields into dialogues, contextualizing knowledge in context and examining the influence of gender on the generation of knowledge. This theoretical article seeks to investigate the link between female representation and knowledge creation, shedding light on the persistent gender gap in academic institutions and research establishments. Furthermore, it aims to contemplate how a more feminist perspective can impact research efforts and social intervention strategies, recognizing the value of women's perspectives in the theoretical discourse on social and gender equality. By highlighting the importance of including different perspectives in science, the article emphasizes the need to promote an inclusive and equitable approach to human progress.
