RESUMO
A entrada das mulheres nas universidades na recente história brasileiraé um marco das mudanças em curso em nossa sociedade. A presente análise contextualiza o contingente populacional com curso universitário no Brasil e ressalta as continuidades e rupturas da participação de homens e mulheres nesse espaço. Baseada nos últimos quatro Censos do IBGE, a análise revela que em trinta anos as mulheres conseguiram reverter o quadro de desigualdade histórica e consolidar uma nova realidade em que são maioria (60 por cento) dos formados entre os mais jovens. A comparação entre o contingente de indivíduos com nível universitário em 1970 e 2000 revela, também, expressiva entrada feminina em cursos tradicionalmente masculinos.
ABSTRACT
Women's entrance into the university in recent Brazilian history is a sign of the changes underway in our society. The present analysis takes the slice of the population that holds a university diploma and contextualizes it within the broader process of boosting enrollment at Brazilian schools, while emphasizing continuities and ruptures in the pattern of male and female participation in this arena. Based on the last four IBGE censuses, our analysis reveals that in thirty short years women have managed to reverse a picture of historical inequality and to solidify a new reality in which they are the clear majority (60 percent) of college graduates in younger cohorts. A comparison between those holding university degrees in 1970 and in 2000 shows a significant entrance of women into traditionally male courses.
