This paper deals with the social perceptions of being a woman and being a scientist in Brazil. Women made many scientific discoveries even before feminist movements took a place in the fight for women's rights. Although more qualified than men, women still do not occupy the spaces of power. This is reflected in the representation of girls and women who could enter scientific courses but are discouraged. In this sense, the objective of this study is to understand how social media can collaborate to encourage the participation of women in science. We use a qualitative methodology to analyze YouTube channel videos from women scientists in order to understand what makes a video have more views than others on these channels. We conclude that social media can contribute to women entering science, since they can provide women scientists with a role of social representation. However, it is necessary that the content published on social media is not a mere reproduction of scientific articles. It takes an accessible language to reach the maximum number of people.

Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar o protagonismo feminino nas rodas de jongo contemporâneas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, destacando o fato de as mulheres terem assumido, sobretudo a partir do início dos anos 2000, papéis antes exclusivos dos homens nesse cenário. Ao tocarem os tambores, elemento sagrado do jongo, ao comporem e ao desafiarem os homens no canto, efetivamente transformam o jongo num substantivo feminino. Para realização da pesquisa, nos valemos de dois caminhos metodológicos: a realização de uma cartografia em cinco rodas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e, complementando esse cenário, entrevistas, tomando como pressuposto as indicações teóricas da história oral. O objetivo final é perceber a cena musical jongueira na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e o protagonismo feminino existente nesses lugares de múltiplas significações.

This article has as its objective to show the female protagonism in contemporary jongo sessions in Rio de Janeiro city, highlighting the fact that women have assumed, specially since the beginning of the 2000’s, roles previously and exclusively male dominated in this scenario. When women play the drums – a jongo’s sacred element –, compose and challenge men to sing, they effectively make jongo a female noun. In order to perform the investigation, we have used two methodological paths: the cartography of five jongo sessions in Rio de Janeiro city; and, to complement it, interviews, based on the theoretical indications of oral history. The final purpose is to perceive the musical scene of jongo in Rio de Janeiro city and the female protagonism in these places of multiple meanings.
