Resumo
Introdução
Identities are sources of meaning for people. They are characterized by containing particularities present in the culture, group and environment in which the individual is inserted, mainly by shared meanings.

Metodologia
To achieve the following results, in-depth interviews were used as a data collection technique with fifteen military women who work in different hierarchies inside the Brazilian Air Force. through content analysis.
Análise dos Resultados
The results reveal that women continue to conquer their spaces in the armed forces and open paths for new women.
Conclusão
This research made it possible to understand how the identity of military women in the Brazilian Air Force is constructed and redefined within a traditionally male and hierarchical organizational environment. Through the narratives of the interviewees, it became evident that, despite the progress achieved, there are still challenges related to acceptance, professional recognition, and the breaking of gender stigmas. The identity of these women is shaped both by their personal motivations and by the conditions and experiences lived in the military environment.
