DIAZ CUELLAR, Fé E et al. Cuban women: evolution of rights and barriers to occupy direction posts. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.5, pp. 1180-1191. ISSN 1684-1824.

The rights of Cuban women have evolved through the history as a result of an indefatigable fight. A review of this problem was carried out to objectively appraise that evolution and the barriers still existing for women to occupy managerial positions. Several stages are established to perform the analysis. It was confirmed the date women were given the right to vote, the equality of rights in the marriage and the right of asking for the divorce, stating that these rights conquered by them were the result of a long struggle for their political, social and cultural demands. It is exposed that there are still several aspects arising as barriers against women occupying direction posts, among them the conflicts between work tasks and house tasks, trips for working reasons, daily displacement to work, the excessive hours and the little flexibility in them, and also the few time for social and leisure time activities, and for personal care.

Keywords : evolution; rights; direction posts; barriers.
