JOHANSON, Izilda Cristina. From Object to Subject: A Feminist Contribution to History and to Philosophy. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e59273.  Epub 01-Jan-2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n159273.

It is intended to present a case study, taken from the existentialist philosophy, which the women and philosophy relationship approach depicts two great relevant questions. Firstly, the alleged universality of conceptual system coined by the phylosopher that, upon the scrutiny of concrete existence, discloses a somewhat selective and partial reality that, oftenly, rather than combating, reinforces certain commonplace opinions and prejudices about the differences and gender oppression. Secondly, on the other hand, the interest apparently located in thestatusof the women, that drives the female phylosopher to open and, to some extent, unleash the philosophical field of the investigations, towards the achievement of their connection to human life. That is one of the key steps taken toward the constitution of women as an authentic subject, and of knowledge as well.
