This article describes and explains the underrepresentation of women in ministerial cabinets during the period 1979–2015 in Ecuador. Using an unpublished database and linear regression model, the article shows that the increasing number of legislators and size of the government legislative bloc had a positive effect on the presence of women ministers. In addition, the article discusses the political importance of the ministries assigned to women during the period. The main empirical finding is that, despite the drastic increase in women ministers during Rafael Correa’s government, the tendency to appoint women to ministries of low political importance ministries has been constant during the previous Ecuadorian democratic regime. Resumen Este articulo describe y explica la sub representacion de mujeres en los gabinetes ministeriales de Ecuador entre los anos 1979 y 2015. A partir de una base de datos inedita y recurriendo a un modelo de regresion lineal, el articulo sostiene que el incremento tanto en el numero de legisladoras como en el tamano de la bancada legislativa oficialista, inciden positivamente sobre la presencia de mujeres en los gabinetes ministeriales. Adicionalmente el articulo discute la importancia politica de los ministerios asignados a mujeres a lo largo del periodo analizado. En este aspecto, el principal hallazgo empirico que se presenta indica que, a pesar del drastico aumento de ministras durante los gobiernos de Rafael Correa, la historica tendencia de colocar mujeres en Carteras de Estado de menor importancia politica continua en vigencia.
