Abstract
This text looks at how Quebec women have participated in constitutional pol itics. In the first part of the text, some central ideas are presented, for example, "woman" as a political cohort, nationalism and nomadism. The role played by women in the shaping of the contemporary nationalist project is examined. Finally, the results of the author's survey on women, constitutio nal options and support to feminism are presented.
