The article, conceptually based on the paradigm of social time modus, the theory of gender equality and institutionalism, considers the development of science as a type of activity, a social process and an extra-economic factor that determines the behavior of an individual, his choice and preferences in the scientific sphere of life, depending on the gender characteristic that affects the personality behavior in this sphere. The evolutionary process of cognition of the surrounding reality is analyzed as the evolution of the development of science and the historical contribution of talented women of different eras to its development.
