Abstract

This text presents the academic itinerary of Mary Nash, highlighting her historiographical contributions and her work to promote women’s history and gender studies in Spanish universities. From the projection of a specialist in contemporary society, the evolution of a History, first Social, and now Socio-cultural or Cultural, is perceived; also the difficulties in investigating the role of women and the feminine in discourses about the past until not too long ago. The impact of her first works on Spanish women of the Republic and the Civil War is valued, and the importance of her most recent reflections on multiculturalism, migration or post-colonialism from gender.
