Understanding Education as an essential tool for social transformation, when one investigates the debate about sensitive issues in the society, they contribute to the promotion of change. Among the numerous issues in dispute, female invisibility, mainly in academia, has been marked by cycles of oppression and repression. This article aims to enhance efforts to the movement of women empowerment, by quantitatively investigating academic production on Women and Science in the improvement of Education, especially in the Science areas. We analyzed 735 articles published between 2017 and 2024 divided into three open access journals: Revista Educar Mais, Caderno de Astronomia and Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências. However, only 10 (1.3%) were related to the topic, yielding the first result which indicates low production in this area. Paradoxically, the general interest in these articles was on average 30% higher than that of the rest of the works, indicating that there is opportunity for growth on the topic. Finally, we verify that the articles have more views in March, which indicates a possible correlation between that interest and the Women’s International Day celebrations in that month. It seems these events have a positive impact on the discussion of the topic. Yet, it is understood that they have to be spread farther so that Women and Science continue to be a recurring and perennial topic.
