Abstract: Equality between men and women is a recent issue in the French Republic. The principle was enshrined for the first time in 1946 in the preamble to theConstitution of the 4th French Republic. Since then, several texts have been adopted, including the Rixain law, which imposes a 40% quota for women among senior managers in large companies by 2030.Higher education is playing its part in this fight against inequality between men and women by by enacting a series of reforms from 2012 onwards, including the Fioraso law aimed at professional equality. Despite these advances and the apparent fairness of entrance examinations in the academic field, perceived as more neutral, inequalities persist in 2025, particularly in the scientific disciplines. Back in the early 2000s, Catherine Marry and Irène Jonas pointed out that ‘the academic world cannot escape the glass ceiling or the leaden sky’ (1). Twenty years on, what can we say about the situation in New Aquitaine?The aim of this document is to highlight the careers of the network's women researchers in the light of inequalities between men and women in higher education, particularly in the New Aquitaine region. Firstly, it will provide an overview of the situation of female based on data from the HR2S network, but also from the region's universities. It then transcribes ten interviews with women researchers from different disciplines academic status. Finally, a conclusion summarises the main findings of this study and the context in which these researchers are working today. ; La question de l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes est une question récente dans la République française.
