Resumo

The promulgation of the 1988 Constitution and the National Education Guidelines and Bases law in 1996 established democratic management and university autonomy as the pillars of the country's higher education management. However, the legal bases are not a full guarantee of the achievement of these principles in university spaces, which are the result of a permanent and daily struggle by members of the academic community. This study aims to analyze historically and from the perspective of female participation, the experience of democratic management and university autonomy at ESAM / UFERSA, Federal University located in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Sul. Based on documentary research in the collections of that university and semi-structured interviews with women who held or occupy management positions, we aim to identify and catalog the institutional documents that formalize tools and procedures that aim to implement democratic management in their decision-making spaces, besides analyzing how the experience of female participation in this process was constituted. On democratic management and university autonomy, we spoke with the authors Durham (2005); Ribeiro (2017); Wanderley (1987). Regarding the discussions on female participation, we spoke especially with Salomão (2010) and Fonseca (2005). As for the methodology, we are based on the studies of Albuquerque Jr., (2012) on historical research; Bacellar (2005) regarding documentary sources and Alberti (2005) regarding the importance of oral sources. As a result, we highlight the university's progress, albeit timid, towards the democratization of its decision-making spaces, often depending on the profile of the Rector, whether more democratic or not, to move towards participation beyond representation. and deliberation; whereas university management is still mainly composed of men, although the number of women in the university has grown significantly in recent years; that even though we are a minority in top management, we participate on an almost equal basis in commissions and committees, echoing the stigma of patriarchy that we are useful hands for work but not for command; and finally, that the reality faced by the women of ESAM / UFERSA, participants in the research, resembles the reality of many other women entering the labor market, especially with regard to the accumulation of social roles, of mother, wife, daughter and manager
