• Abstract:

  The social studies of science are necessary to achieve equitable participation of women in the spheres of public order, understood as the politically, economically and socially recognized sphere. Particularly, gender studies with a feminist perspective make visible that women have been historically excluded from scientific scenarios. To this day, the glass ceiling continues to exist for female researchers. In scientific scenarios, the differences in the participation of women in evaluation systems such as the National System of Researchers (SNII) reveal inequalities that are addressed by the critical science of feminism. This article contributes to the theoretical corpus of the analysis of inequalities with a gender perspective in science and academia. It is pointed out that one of the factors that intervene in the invisibility of female scientists are the disputes that women have in the domestic or private sphere and the public or scientific/payed/recognized sphere.
