The insertion of women in the exact sciences areas has been a historically slow process, since this space was almost entirely occupied by men. The search for space and visibility in this area still continues, in the midst of a society that reproduces gender inequality. It is noteworthy that the debate around issues related to the inclusion of women in the sciences is of great importance. The aim of this work is to discuss perceptions about female representations in the exact sciences, as well as the role of education in transforming women's empowerment and gender equality. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out, in the second quarter of 2021, in the Google Scholar library. Some articles that met the work's inclusion criteria were selected. The theoretical contribution dialogue allowed us to understand the school environment as being largely responsible for encouraging female participation in the exact sciences, as well as the constructed representations of women about their intellectual capacities.
