“…It could refers to the contributions of female scientists to scientific development in physics and related areas, as portrayed by studies in the subcategory of historical perspectives; it could refer to girls' interest (or lack of interest) in learning school physics, or to women's individual trajectories in academic physics, as addressed by studies in the subcategory of women's experiences; it could refer to the under-representation of women in academic physics, such as depicted by studies in the subcategory of metrics of inequality; it could refer to differences between girls' and boys' learning outcomes in school physics, or to differences in career paths of women and men in academic physics, as addressed by studies in the subcategory of gender differences. Furthermore, in Brazilian studies, the term "participation of women" may be replaced by "feminine participation" 5 (Feltrin et al, 2016;Guedes et al, 2015;B. S. Lima et al, 2015;Ramos & Tedeschi, 2015;Teixeira & Freitas, 2015).…”
