Article abstractOf what have been called "theories of society", all have been and are theintellectual representations of specific social relationships. According to theauthor, the incursion of a minority group into the theoretical field produces anupset in perspectives - a subversion. The first theoretical texts produced byminority groups are always disqualified and presented as "political"representations, pamphlets, or terrorist positions. They end up, however, bybeing integrated into theory. The absence of women in the social sciences was,thus, one of the effects of social sexual relationships. Becoming an object oftheory was the necessary consequence for women of becoming a subject ofhistory. The author demonstrates in this text how studies by women havealready had important and visible theoretical consequences, and will haveothers which will become evident with time.
