Abstract

This study aimed to understand how power relations are manifested daily in women who are professors and managers – managers-professors – of a public university. We used a qualitative approach and the method of life story. The subjects of the research were five women who occupied/occupy management positions at a public university. Among the difficulties faced by them, there are power asymmetries exposed in a symbolic way, cases of moral harassment, the “glass ceiling” phenomenon and the discrimination and prejudice, mainly through discourse and humor.
