Abstract: In the article pay attention to the “case-study” of the women-scientists who works the Ural State Agrarian University. In Russian Empire the access to the high education and the science was limited for the women. In the USSR the Communist Party provided the policy for equal opportunity for man and woman in the different fields, especially to the access to the high education and the science. The women became the heads of the universities, of the faculties, of the chairs. The best example is the scientific carrier O. A. Ivanova (1895–1978). She was the first woman the head of Sverdlovsk Agricultural Institute. She led Sverdlovsk Agricultural Institute in the most difficult times for the country with the 1940–1945. In 1948 she defended her thesis, with 1949–1957 — associate professor, head of the Department of Agriculture, the dean of the Faculty of Agriculture. The scientific carriers were differing within 75 years of its existence in the capital of the Middle Urals institution of higher education for training agricultural sector. It’s very interest to know how woman-scientist describes her life. Ural State Agricultural Academy in 2014 was reorganized into the Ural State Agrarian University. The first rector was elected academician, doctor of biological sciences, professor Irina Donnik. Her name opens a new page in the history of women scientists in Russia and abroad. Sophisticated gender policy avoids discriminatory practices against women scientists in Ural State Agricultural University.
Keywords: woman and science, woman-scientist, the gender misbalance, scientific carrier for woman, the state policy in gender.
