It deals with the contributions of women in Society and in Information Science, based on the approaches of the literature in the area and other related areas, considering that the discussion and awareness of this social issue is urgente. Collaborating with this relevant debate was the objective of preparing this text, as a record of the lecture held in 2022 at the VI PPGCI Students and Graduates Forum (FDECIN). Addresses women’s historical struggles; the contributions of some of the leading women in Information Science and the struggles and challenges posed to women in contemporary society and in the scientific field of Information Science. It highlights historically denied social rights, such as access to education and voting, which were the object of resistance and struggle to gain respect for women as social subjects and, therefore, as subjects of rights. In summary, the text seeks to demonstrate that women’s struggles are historical, spanning centuries and scientific fields, and that all these struggles represent resilient resistance against barriers that aim to contain revolutionary social changes in favor of social inclusion.
