Abstract

In this essay we introduce the dossier “Women in Social Theory”, inviting to a renewed look at sociological theory, its categories and concepts, and suggesting a permanent theoretical movement that challenges discoveries, theoretical-methodological innovations and reflections that different intellectual women have produced – and still produce – on the social world. By proposing a discussion on women in social theory, we believe that works from the past can bring to the orbit of classical sociology themes and perspectives that the sociological canon has generally disregarded. Far from promoting essentialisms or stereotypes about what would be – or if there would even exist – a female writing, we suggest an effort to bring to light a new map of sociological theory, laying bare the multiplicity of themes, problems and objects that compose it.
