The construction of feminism and the change of modern society

Abstract

The changes in recent decades have established a new form of relationship between human beings. Women are increasingly leaving to belong to the private sphere of home to occupy a place in society that no longer behaves more exclusively male figures. Through this study we tried to conceptualize gender and outline the important role that women occupy in modern society, especially in management positions in organizations. To this end we carried out a bibliographic review which concluded that the construction of gender is complex and socially constructed according to the roles assigned to men and women in a given society. These papers, with time, are modified and reconstructed, due to demands and social movements. Currently there is a redesign of the role of women according to their occupations, social movements, pressure interaction, finally, a series of events that are driving change. Thus, it becomes important to study women in management position. Important is to study how women play their roles, act as leaders, organize their daily lives and what led them to assume the role of leadership in organizations.
