As mulheres e os números: Uma perspectiva histórica sobre suas contribuições no desenvolvimento da matemática

Abstract

This work intends to present the trajectory of some women throughout the history of Mathematics, emphasizing their contributions based on the studies of authors such as: Cecília de Souza Fernandez, Ana Maria Luz Fassarella do Amaral, Isabela Vasconcellos Viana (2019), Gilberto Geraldo Garbi (2007) and Cristiane Monteiro de Oliveira (2012). This is a bibliographic research, considering different moments in the course of history, seeking to highlight the process of struggle, recognition and contributions of women in the sciences, with an emphasis on Mathematics. The results obtained prove the brief female presence in texts on Mathematics, leading to reflection on the reasons that lead studies carried out by women to be dismissed and recognized.
