Popis: Today much has to be discussed about the position that women's work occupies in society and the places that women occupy in these jobs. When talking about the financial market, a woman rarely comes to mind in front of graphs and numbers, because to them, from a historical point of view and in general, they are still delegated administration and management functions. Many changes have occurred in the world of work, the financial market also in the family space, and every day women are gaining more rights and job opportunities. Before being prevented from voting and opening an account in banks without the authorization of their husbands, they could not build a career in the financial market. Hoje, although in smaller percentages than the opposite gender, build their professional careers and are also in leadership positions, even if they are a minority. Nevertheless, discrimination remains present in the workspaces, although many companies are currently concerned with the issue of gender diversity. In this context, this is exploratory qualitative research carried out through a bibliographic survey and data collection by interviews. The study aimed to obtain a broader view of the theme of women in leadership positions in the financial market to problematize women's lives, feminism, and the struggle of women for equality and social justice. Social relations are delicate, ambiguous, and often contraditórias and for this reason, this research did not propose to reach conclusions, but rather to identify the conditions in which women with complete higher education perform their leadership positions within a labor market still very strictly women, as well as highlight ing the obstacles faced by them in the course of their professional ascent.
