Brazilian women achieved many partial victories in the twentieth century: they obtained the right to vote in 1932, but they were not able to surpass the prevailing existing 10% women participation in congress; they advanced in all levels of education, but they are still underrepresented in exact sciences and in research groups leadership; they increased participation rates in the labor market, but they still face occupational segregation, salary discrimination, and double working day; they achieved several victories in national legislation, but they are still victims of prejudice and discrimination. In terms of life expectancy, they live an average of seven years longer than men, and they are also the majority of population and electorate. They were able to reduce many gender inequalities and reverse others. However, despite having a woman as President, Brazil has still a long way to go to reach gender equity
