Women Researchers in the Shade, Also in Virtual Space

Abstract

The labor gap between women and men is persistent. The differences in remuneration and leadership externalize structural orders of a patriarchal court that govern the development of each union; always in coordination with his public and private environment. Scientific work is no exception. This article refers to the minority and segregation status of academics attached to Mexican universities, despite the ground gained gradually in inclusion and equity. The subject of theoretical recognition was studied in depth, which today is disputed in virtual space; to do this, we reviewed the data from three international repositories, specialized in scientific literature. The exploration revealed that the presence and hierarchical position of the researchers women are even more opaque in internet than in the physical-institutional space. From the above, the use of digital tools is called as a way to improve dialogue and notoriety in the trade.
