História das mulheres na ciência

This thesis addresses the History of Women in Science based on the professional career of paleontologists who worked at the Departamento Nacional da Produção Mineral (DNPM) in Rio de Janeiro.The institution originated in 1907 when the Serviço Geológico e Mineralógicco of Brazil was created, which gave rise in 1934 to DNPM and, in 1969, provided physical and intellectual support for the creation of the Companhia de Pesquisa e Recursos Minerais (CPRM) -currently named as Geological Service of Brazil.The main database of this research is based on interviews with paleontologists who worked at some way at DNPM-RJ.We categorized them into three generations of activity, all of which were considered pioneers in their field.These women have historically succeeded a predominantly male generation, which represented the so-called "golden age" of the institution.Consequently, these pioneers witnessed several aspects that were perceived as an institutional degradation that, in our perspective, in our hypothesis could be a linked to the predominance of female performance in the institution, since it no longer offered full professional structure and offered considerably low salaries for the area.The first generation of the institution was composed by Nicéa Magessi Trindade, Diana Mussa, Lélia Duarte, Maria Eugênia de Carvalho Marchesini Santos and Norma Maria da Costa Cruz, who are the first women to work with Paleontology in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, being disciples of the previous generation of paleontologists of the institution.The paleontologist who marked the transition to a second generation was Marise Sardenberg Salgado de Carvalho, who had transient aspects between both generations.The other components of this second generation were Rita de Cassia Tardin Cassab, Vera Maria Medina da Fonseca, Dea Regina Bouret Campos and Lucia Montilla Mayer, who represented a group that witnessed the complete disruption of DNPM-RJ in Urca.Finally, the third generation, who were two women candidates in 2006 and who are currently in the institution, paleontologists Márcia Aparecida dos Reis Polck and Irma Tie Yamamoto.All these women, through their narratives and historical trajectories, demonstrate gender issues and their aspects of what it was make science, as well as how the insertion of qualified female professionalization occurred in the mid-twentieth century
