Abstract

Creativity from a sociocultural perspective is defined as a complex and applied phenomenon that is influenced by various factors and brings about transformation in the context. Based on these foundations, the objective of this study was to discuss how stereotypes and gender barriers, rooted in sociocultural structures, constitute inhibiting factors for the development, expression, and recognition of creative women. To achieve this, a literature review was conducted. Data from previous research are analyzed, providing insights into the different barriers overcome by highly creative women and offering a sociocultural interpretation of the challenges they faced on their path to creative recognition. As a result, this analysis not only sheds light on the difficulties but also identifies specific areas that require attention to drive significant social transformation, emphasizing the urgency of overcoming societal prejudices and limitations; the study underscores the critical importance of establishing a sociocultural environment that celebrates and recognizes creativity equitably for all individuals. This work contributes to the discussion on gender equity in the creative sphere by highlighting the need to break down obstacles limiting women's creative expression.
