As Astrocientistas e o paradoxo da desigualdade de gênero na física

The first edition of the event As Astrocientistas: the Brazilian Meeting of Women and Girls in Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Gravitation, happened in February 2021. It gathered great names of Brazilian science to pay homage to Brazilian female researchers and other female physicists with close ties to our community. This paper presents our motivation to organize this event, the challenges we faced, and exposes the learning experience we gained from doing so. We will talk about the relevance of this event as we perceive it.
