A liderança feminina na reitoria da UFPB

Abstract

Women have been prominent on the world scene, thanks to the struggles and achievements of the feminist movement, mainly with the purpose of achieving space in the labor market. Women have faced countless difficulties in being respected as citizens by Western societies. However, today, rewarded by the struggle of decades of struggle, women, have won many rights. Among these rights, their insertion in the labor market became more simple, asserting their labor rights, before a world that until then had been dominated by patriarchal power, giving priority to men. The present research, based on the qualitative methodological procedure of the interview, analyzed the female leadership in the UFPB, from the testimony of the first woman to assume the position of rector when the university completed 58 years of foundation. She is currently in her second term and this study sought to understand the main aspects related to gender issues in her management. It is concluded that, even though she is in her second term and the only woman in the highest position in 63 years of existence of the Federal University of Paraíba, after 14 male rectors, she still suffers from prejudice within the work environment.
