NUNES, Polliane Trevisan  e  WANDERER, Fernanda. Successful Women in The Scientific Field: An Analysis of Social Networks. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, e68120.  Epub 01-Maio-2021. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n268120.

The article presents results from research that examined how women considered successful in science and technology narrate their successful trajectory. The empirical material consists of reports published on the social network Facebook obtained from 2015 to 2018. As theoretical contributions, studies of the thinking of Michel Foucault were used. Analysis has shown that the trajectories of successful women are marked by individual coping with the difficulties of consolidating a career. This confrontation is linked to the mechanisms of neoliberal rationality present in our society that positions the individual as solely responsible for their education and professional qualification, weakening the relevance of the collective and the actions of the state as ways of guaranteeing and sustaining gender equity in the scientific areas.

Palavras-chave : Women; Scientific field; Social networks; Michel Foucault.
