Beyond fanciful flights and fantasies around a so-called “gender theory”, it is necessary to discuss a certain number of heuristic tools for thinking about the difference and similarity between the sexes. From the 1970’s onwards, historiography detached itself from a universal masculine in operation since the 19th century, in order to make women visible. Gender was gradually constructed as one category of analysis, among others, to question past societies, as well as those of the present.
