| Summary: | The road from women’s history to gender history was paved in the sixties thanks to the feminists who were engaged in the endeavor of restoring women to history and history to women. In the past, women were not missing from history, they just had a low profile, being relegated to circumscribed private realms, such as the family or the convent. The slow entry of women into history, both as objects and as subjects of research, has launched new methodological proposals, starting with the invitation to reconsider the validity of the traditional chronological scansions (is there such a thing as a feminine Renaissance?) up to the most important and innovative one of adopting the term gender, understood as the historical and cultural construction of the female and the mal, as analytic categories. The comprehension of the constituting characteristics of the two genders and the reconstruction of how they interact is the key to reading and understanding a history which is finally opening itself to all its characters. |
