RESUMO:

At the beginning of the twentieth century, European universities were not yet open to women's participation. Even in the midst of an explicit gender bias, Lise Meitner (1878-1968) aimed to enter these spaces and live a scientific career. Meitner was a young Austrian, Jewish family, who faced a chauvinistic and patriarchal social and educational system. A system that tried, by formal and non-formal elements, to prevent their entry, permanence and ascension at the University of Vienna and Berlin. On the other hand, he found mechanisms that allowed him to access spaces, even as listeners, such as laboratories, classrooms, and to become one of the most important physicists of the time. It is notorious that many passages of the trajectory of the character are marked by gender bias and sexism present in the institutions where the presence of men predominated. From this context, this paper aims to present, discuss and analyze aspects of Meitner's academic trajectory, which are particular to women's scientific academic trajectories in the context of Germany in the early twentieth century, from a feminist critique perspective. For this, we collect biographical data from primary and secondary sources such as letters, articles by Lise Meitner and contemporary characters, written biographies of the character, reports from the time, etc. The analysis of the trajectory aspects was performed based on the theoretical references on the concept of gender, feminisms and feminist critique of science, such as Scoot (YEAR), Rago (YEAR), Harding (YEAR), Schienbenger (2002). , Keller (2006), etc. Once the partial analyzes have been made, we are able to gather some aspects that reflect the condition of women in their scientific academic trajectories. Among these results are: late entry into universities, inability to access workspaces, prohibition of publication of works, absence of positions, lack of salary, equal recognition. These results allow us to understand women's place in these spaces and how decisive they are for us to understand why these women do not reach the same places as their peers. These elements justify the low presence of women in academic spaces, the low adherence of girls to science courses, and the perpetuation of sexist practices in the classroom, in the laboratory, in universities in general.
