Previous studies about the philosophy of science from a feminist perspective have observed that the historical exclusion of women from academic spaces caused sexist and androcentric biases in science. Therefore, feminist epistemologies have pointed out the need to build a new epistemology, which integrates women's ways of knowing. This work presents an exploratory analysis based on semantic networks by gender to supply empirical evidence in this matter and figure out if women have contributed to social sciences posing different questions than men. For this aim, we retrieved from the Scopus database all the publications of Mexico in social sciences. The differences and similarities in meaning by gender were examined through the structural measures of each semantic network. This work studied the researchers who were active from 2007 to 2018 in the National System of Researchers of Mexico. The results revealed that women indeed asked different questions than men. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
