Abstract

This monograph focuses on the evolution of the concept of gender and current transformations in areas such as female participation in leadership, entrepreneurship, education and digital technologies. It addresses the structural barriers women face in leadership and entrepreneurship, and explores how inclusive policies can promote greater equity. It also examines gender gaps in STEM fields and how stereotypes in education perpetuate inequalities. Another key theme is the analysis of gendered leadership styles, looking at new forms of inclusive leadership. It delves into digital gender violence and the abuse of technologies such as deepfake, and how the gender perspective is integrated into disciplines such as architecture and urban planning. The monograph invites reflection on the changes in gender stereotypes and how they impact sectors historically dominated by men.
