The general objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of the relation ship between female empowerment, women's financial independence and their entry into the labor market and, as a consequence, the impact of this relationship on gender inequality. To this end, this study is based on bibliographical research that addresses the origin and concepts related to female empowerment, the changes resulting from the expansion of opportunities for achievements and work, women's financial independence, including life planning and financial education as tool to better manage your resources. From the development of this study, it is observed, in general, that women are currently important figures for the economy, since they are increasingly investing in professional achievements and achieving their financial freedom. In addition, women are taking on positions and functions formerly occupied only by men, showing that they are able and ready to conquer the highest levels of companies, abandoning the image of just housewives and conquering their financial autonomy. In view of this, a decrease in gender inequality could be seen as a result.
