ABSTRACT

Feminism provided a way for cultured women, the future professionals to find "the other" within themselves, and some women also found a way to break away from the traditional enmity promoted systematically by a patriarchal society, the dominant system within women. This is the generation of female scholars who produced knowledge from the perspective of gender studies and created a new scientific discipline from the late 1980s. The author has recently researched social scientists and academic women, an objective proposed for the collective feminist agenda. There are theoretical contributions that range from memoirs to the sociology of knowledge and social theory, including the feminist contribution to the "crafting and use of life histories as a genre". Regarding the work of the feminist agenda, she will summarize it in three key words, memory, mastery and goals, which she translate respectively into these other three terms: balance, legacy and heirs/heiresses.
