Abstract

A feminist reflection on the notions of transmission and authority in the field of knowledge. From a diachronic perspective and focusing essentially on a Spanish and French corpus and context, this article proposes a general reflection on the place of a knowledge elaborated, applied and transmitted by women in the past, and the way in which they have been generally disauthorised by most male voices and institutions. From this, a reflection is made on what this androcentric and authoritarian legacy does to the transmission of knowledge in the academic and intellectual world today.
