SUMMARY:

The industrial revolution begun in the eighteenth century represents an important point in the historical line of the process of women's insertion in the labor market, in which the word underemployment stands out. Women are rarely considered economic agents, this reality is stronger in underdeveloped countries, especially in the rural environment. In the field, gender inequality and discrimination against women represent one of the structural causes of poverty. This scenario provides the emergence of a range of socioeconomic implications based mainly on the loss of basic rights of women, without which, there is no development or democracy, with the predominance of asymmetric power relations of hierarchy and dependency. In the labor market, inequality is mainly given by occupational breakdown and wage discrimination. Opposing this scenario, the entrepreneurial movement by women is increasing, aiming to be the protagonists of their emancipation, having entrepreneurship feminism as a catalyst agent in the expansion of women's participation in the market of Work. The objective of this work was to characterize the entrepreneurial profile of women in several cooperatives in the state of Pará, in five municipalities that comprise the region of low Tocantins, given the importance of female entrepreneurship, cooperativism and that expand civic participation and promote the strengthening of social capital. The data will be collected in the municipalities of Cametá, Igarapé-miri, Limoeiro do Ajuru and Abaetetuba, in several cooperatives, whose organizational model is democratic and egalitarian. Data were collected from a structured questionnaire according to a methodology used by gomes (2006), which uses a behavioral analysis based on specialized literature in order to know the entrepreneurial profile of the interviewees, 5 research variables are considered in the methodology: personal needs; skills and knowledge about the business;  skills and management knowledge; technical skills and knowledge; and interpersonal relationship skills. The results point to a high percentage of women with an entrepreneurial profile, among the preliminary results, a high degree of women with a social entrepreneur profile is observed, totaling 100 % reported having a desire to open a business aimed at helping their community. These results can serve as the basis for fostering public policies aimed at local reality and entrepreneurial initiatives by women, with the aim of promoting greater gender equality.
