Women's history, women's wisdom: interpretation of sources within the feminist tradition

Abstract

The feminism is not orphan for tradition. His writings and social, individual and collective practices register in a «historical past», in a «present contextual», they affect in the re-significance of the history, concepts and events. The misogynous argument of to non-know of the women, as well as the supposed non existence of feminine voices of authority, they meet answered by means of the thought and the sociocultural practices of the women. The review and cataloguing of the historical sources of agreement with the theoretical guidelines and methodological derivatives of the Women’s Studies, and his reintepretaation, they allow to state the fingerprints of a feminine protagonism in the public and private spheres forbidden the «masculine reason», insignificant for the «exclusive democracy», slanted by the «illustrated thought».
