Women, mentoring, collective learning, critical perspective of accountingAbstract
Culturally, roles have been determined for men and women that limit transparent participation and equal conditions in the business, political and social context; focusing for one group the care and for the other the maintenance of the home. The objective of this article is to present the history of women accountants and show how mentoring contributes to closing gender gaps in the profession. The results obtained through the study show that in the accounting field progress has been made in reconstructing the reality of women in their professional practice, but beyond counting, the search for solutions that lead to the action of men and women should be encouraged, so that through the mentoring process the formulas used by those who have broken the glass ceiling or have been overcoming the barriers imposed in the labyrinth are identified. It is thus concluded that it is necessary to start creating work networks that promote collaborative learning in the field of economic development, and enhance sorority and the consolidation of adequate spaces for a fairer society.
