Aim: study the publications on gender issues and their correlations in the field of information science in the Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Ciência da Informação (ENANCIB) and more specifically in the context of the working group 1 (GT1). Methodology: a literature review of the works by authors and philosophers that address the topic was carried out, as well as of the corpus of ENANCIB proceedings for a period of 10 years (2010-2019). Results: thinking about the epistemological question of IS through the lens of gender studies is doing science as praxis, that is, organizing the possibilities for discussion within the production of content itself. Conclusion: new studies that show historical-epistemological aspects related to gender issues and those theories with which they dialogue are suggested, so that IS can promote a better perception of the area, the construction of a mindset with less prejudices, and the reduction of social exclusion. In other words, the deconstruction of IS as a neoliberal science is necessary to give visibility to all groups that have been excluded since its inception.
