Abstract

This text analyzes the contribution of feminist epistemologies and gender studies for historiographic work on women in sport. With these purposes in mind, we evaluate the emergence of a field that has been denominated “Women’s History”, as well as the use of the category “gender” as an analytical tool that makes it possible to understand the historical processes through which women’s entrance, participation and growing presence in the field of sporting and bodily practices occur. Furthermore, we give salience to the theorizations of post-critical feminism, which in breaking with the universal category of “woman” has made the differences and pluralism that characterize the way women live and experience their femininities visible.
