Abstract:In this paper, we have meticulously curated the pertinent literature from the CNKI and Web of Science databases. Our primary focus was to unravel the factors that influence the standing of female scientists and explore strategies to bridge the gap of resistance. Additionally, employing the assistance of CiteSpace, a bibliometric software, we have visually mapped the trends and advancements in both domestic and international research concerning female scientists. Our findings reveal that while foreign investigations have progressively shed light on the issues faced by female scientists within the realm of interdisciplinary studies and the impact of social media, domestic research initially wove together the philosophies of science and feminism. Furthermore, the progression of domestic research has emphasized the significance of quantitative evidence and exhibited a burgeoning interest in distinctive localized aspects. From a global perspective, numerous intricate factors, such as gender bias prevalent in scientific domains, gender perceptions during childhood and adolescence, prevalent educational systems and ideologies, gender-oriented characteristics and roles within the scientific community, as well as the portrayal of scientists in media outlets, have a significant impact on the status of female scientists. Consequently, addressing the marginalization of women within the scientific sphere necessitates interventions in various domains, including education, scientific communities, policies, and community networks. The era of social media presents unprecedented opportunities for fostering gender inclusivity. Innovative communication methods, including visual representations, carefully crafted hashtags, and emotive expressions, are anticipated to offer fresh focal points for enhancing the representation of women scientists and cultivating an equitable and diverse scientific landscape.
