Particularly in finance, these records are below industry average, and the strong competition and male-dominated regime make it difficult for women to make it to the top (Torres et al., 2013; OECD Better Life Index 2015). This can be due to a lack of work-life balance, differing leadership styles, women being intimidated, or conformance with conventionally embedded family structures. In Brazil, traditional codes of conduct are very palpable in the country’s society, even tthough it has also benefited from a strong presence of feminist movements across the second half of the last century (Tate and Yang, 2015; Bowles et al. 2007; Niederle and Vesterlund, 2007). In recent years, the Brazilian finance industry has been growing, providing greater employment opportunities and career developments within national and international corporations (Chiang et al., 2013; Bruschini, 2007). This dissertation focuses on the challenges that female finance leaders in Brazil face during their careers. This will be achieved by a social media analysis focusing on women’s years of work experience, current position, and whether they have children, as well as with 10 semi-structured interviews carried out with finance executives in Brazil. These steps will encompass gaps in the literature and consequent recommendations for future research / No nível global, a representação de líderes de sexo feminino nas empresas muitas vezes ainda se dá em números baixos em termos de percentagem. Particularmente em finanças, esses registros estão abaixo da média da indústria, e a forte concorrência e o ambiente de trabalho dominado pelos homens tornam difícil para as mulheres atingir o topo da pirâmide corporativa (Torres et al., 2013; OECD Better Life Index 2015). Isto pode ser devido a uma falta de equilíbrio trabalho-vida, diferentes estilos de liderança, as mulheres sendo intimidadas, ou a conformidade com estruturas familiares convencionalmente englobadas. No Brasil, os códigos de comportamento tradicionais são muito palpáveis na sociedade do país, embora esta também tenha se beneficiado de uma forte presença de movimentos feministas na segunda metade do século passado (Tate and Yang, 2015; Bowles et al. 2007; Niederle and Vesterlund, 2007). Nos últimos anos, o setor financeiro brasileiro tem crescido, oferecendo maiores oportunidades de emprego e desenvolvimento de carreira nas corporações nacionais e internacionais (Chiang et al., 2013; Bruschini, 2007). Esta dissertação aborda os desafios enfrentados por líderes de sexo feminino do mercado financeiro brasileiro e as suas trajetórias de carreira. Este objetivo será atingido por meio de uma análise de mídia social, focando nos anos de experiência de trabalho das mulheres analisadas, a posição atual delas e se elas têm filhos, bem como com 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com executivas no setor financeiro no Brasil. Estas medidas irão abranger lacunas na literatura e consequentes recomendações para pesquisas futuras.
