Abstract
The notion of gender is studied here through several possible applications to the history of feminism. A feminist production, this notion reveals the uneven distribution of power between the sexes, and can also shed light on certain aspects of the internal history of feminism. It is especially cruci al for the study of subjects' awareness. Finally, the effect of gender norm s on identity-based transformations, through a persistent fear of the mascu linization of women, will be examined.
