This paper is a comprehensive analysis of Argentinean historiographic memory as regards the condition of women and gender studies. It is a state-of-the-art work on the historical discipline in this field and refers both to the precursory works from before the 1980´s and to the activities carried out by an ever-increasing number of agents, at the moment when historiography was legitimated in our country, by the mid 80´s. This expansion coincides with a series of phenomena, both internal and external, among which we may point out the outstanding renewal and spread of feminist studies, epistemological changes, transformations in social history, the international growth of gender historiography, together with the social and political changes that took place in Argentina with the return of democracy and the new approaches introduced in the academic context with the advent of studies on women and gender. There exists a conceptual attempt to typify these contributions which evince both their lines of strength and also those aspects still awaiting historical probe.

Keywords : Studies on gender; Epistemological changes; Gender historiography; Modifications within the academic context.
