This article aims to show women's role and contribution in the whole life cycle of software development and thus promote gender equity and equality in this area. Methodologically, we have taken the systematic mapping technique to search in the technical literature as a basis. This allows us to obtain a comprehensive view of the work related to gender gaps women face in their work performance in software manufacturing. To complement this study, a form including closed questions was designed to obtain information about the role women play in software production and their expectations in terms of their professional contribution in this field. The main findings allow us to infer that there are biases when defining leaders and roles in software development. It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide inspiring information for women who wish to lead teams in the field of software development by showing the reduction of gender gaps and the possibility of successfully exercising leadership in this field. La visibilidad de las mujeres en el contexto laboral de la producción de software se observa muy débil, debido a su escasa participación y dificultades socioculturales para crecer en el contexto laboral. El propósito de este artículo es, evidenciar el rol y aporte de las mujeres en todo el ciclo de vida del desarrollo de Software y así contribuir a promover la equidad y la igualdad de género en esta área de fabricación de software. Metodológicamente se ha tomado como base la técnica de mapeo sistemático para búsqueda en la literatura técnica. Esto nos permite obtener una visión integral de los trabajos relacionados con las brechas de género que enfrentan las mujeres en su desempeño laboral en la fabricación de software. Para complementar este estudio, se diseñó un formulario que incluye preguntas cerradas para obtener información sobre el rol que desempeñan las mujeres en la producción de software y sus expectativas personales en términos de su contribución profesional en este campo. Los principales hallazgos nos permiten inferir que existe sesgos a la hora de definir líderes y roles en el desarrollo de software. Se espera que los hallazgos de este estudio proporcionen información inspiradora para las mujeres que anhelan liderar equipos de trabajo en el campo del Desarrollo de Software, al evidenciar la reducción de las brechas de género y la posibilidad de ejercer el liderazgo de manera exitosa en este ámbito.
