Abstract

The text aims at analyzing the (in)visibility of the women as subject of interest of the Brazilian Geographic Science, as well as its profile as knowledge producers in this field. Thus, analyses involving two fundamental bases were carried out. The first one considered the female presence in the organizational structures of the academy in the area of Geography and the second interpretative basis was centered in the Brazilian scientific production, observing both the female profile concerning intellectual elaboration and matters related to gender or women relations. The undertaken analysis admits saying that despite the increasing feminization of the Brazilian Geography, the scientific discourse has been kept with little access to the expansion of the understanding of the relations between space and gender. Such inaccessibility has the foundation both in the male hegemony occupying leadership positions and in the reproduction of the androcentric and eurocentric epistemology version. Keywords: geography, science, gender.
