The paper begins objectively capturing the scarcity of women recognized for their contribution to culture throughout history. The sociocultural obstacles that have been fundamentally responsible for relegating the works of creative women to anonymity are analyzed. It also analyzes the way in which women, since they were girls, have introjected that differential role in society that attributes the role of caregivers to them, generally leaving, in the background, the realization of a creative vocation in a domain. Finally, following the recent results of research on gender and creativity—including that of the author herself—the keys are defined that can contribute to canceling the gender gap in terms of increasing creative contributions to culture by women and their recognition.
