Abstract

Este artículo analiza la trayectoria de las mujeres en el Banco de la República de Colombia a lo largo de sus 100 años de historia, y examina la experiencia de otros bancos centrales en el mundo para proporcionar un contexto internacional. Dado el escaso registro histórico sobre patrones de género en los bancos centrales, especialmente en América Latina, este documento contribuye en parte a llenar este vacío, al recopilar la historia de las empleadas de la institución. Se abordan temas como la participación laboral femenina, los cambios en las normas sociales y culturales, la educación, el papel pionero de las primeras empleadas en los bancos centrales, su desarrollo profesional y su representación en cargos directivos. Se encuentra que la evolución del empleo femenino en el Banco de la República sigue un patrón similar al de otros bancos centrales, donde la relación de las mujeres con sus empleos ha evolucionado hacia la construcción de una carrera profesional. **** ABSTRACT:This paper examines the career path of women in central banks, particularly at the Banco de la República of Colombia throughout its 100-year history, and also examines the experience of other central banks around the world to provide an international context. Given the scarce historical record on gender patterns in central banks, especially in Latin America, this paper contributes in part to filling that gap by gathering the history of the institution's female employees. In particular, it addresses issues such as female labor participation, changes in social and cultural norms, education, the pioneering role of the first female employees in central banks, their professional development and their representation in managerial positions. It finds that the evolution of female employment at Banco de la República follows a pattern similar to that of other central banks, where women's relationship with their jobs has evolved towards career building.
