Abstract

The importance of genealogy as a legitimation of memory and project can be traced in the history of Western thought. This story can be interpreted, with the help of the philosopher Celia Amorós, as a journey in a philosophical-patriarchal key. After its institution and its bankruptcies, the crisis of patriarchal legitimacy opens the door to more advances for women. This work wants to place the relevance of feminist genealogy and the political subject «women» as a subject of that genealogy. This leads to the conclusion that claiming today the irrelevance or even the obsolescence of such a subject can only favor the patriarchy’s own interests. Because the maneuver of hitting the waterline of the subject «women» as a political subject of feminism translates into hitting the very waterline of feminism as an emancipatory project.
