Gender relations are forms of relationship between the sexes. It is a global and ancient phenomenon, rooted in the culture of each people and which has placed women and men in conditions of inequality, in a trajectory that extends from the disintegration of the primitive communal system to the present. Given the importance of the problem, this work aimed to make a literary review about the participation of women in the field of veterinary medicine, listing their difficulties, struggles and achievements, presented in a trajectory that goes from college to the present day. Methodologically, the research took place in an interdisciplinary way due to the peculiarity addressed in terms of the gender category, under the literary contribution of Veterinary Sciences, History and Sociology. An analysis of the changes made by women in the labor market was considered, occupying positions previously exclusive to the male population and finally it was concluded that despite the significant achievements of women, there is still much to be done in relation to gender equity in Brazil. At the end, it highlights the importance of doing a retrospective and analyzing the changes that women have made when they enter the labor market, occupying positions previously exclusive to the male population.
