Este texto tem como objetivo resgatar a participação feminina na constituição da história do Serviço Social, dando visibilidade aos caminhos percorridos e aos papéis desempenhados por algumas mulheres. Para isso, analisamos o caso das pioneiras da Escola de Serviço Social de Niterói, da Universidade Federal Fluminense (ESSN/UFF). O resgate de suas falas, através da história oral, foi o caminho metodologicamente traçado. Iniciamos o texto revisitando a história profissional para, em seguida, discutirmos acerca da necessidade de retirar da invisibilidade o protagonismo dessas mulheres ao construir uma profissão. Aprofundar essa dimensão aponta para a importância de pensarmos algumas questões, como a história das mulheres, o uso da dimensão do gênero e os feminismos na pesquisa acadêmica, o que compreendemos como um grande desafio que se coloca para a profissão.Palavras-Chave: história do Serviço Social; feminismo; gênero e história das mulheres.  Abstract – This text aims to recuperate the participation of women in the constitution of the history of social work, giving visibility to the paths covered and the roles played by women. In order to do this, we analyze the case of the pioneers of the Universidade Federal Fluminense’s Niterói School of Social Service (ESSN/UFF). The recuperation of their speeches, through oral history, was the methodological route. We begin the text revisiting the professional history and then discuss the need to remove from invisibility the protagonism of these women when building a profession. Deepening this dimension points to the importance of thinking about some issues, such as the history of women, the use of the gender dimension and feminisms in academic research, which we understand as a great challenge for the profession.Keywords: history of social work; feminism; gender and women's history.

This essay describes an oral history project that accompanied the establishment of an archive on the history of recent feminism in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The archive, which contains both written and oral historical sources, is now in existence at the library of the Bologna’s Women’s Center, the Centro di Documentazione delle Donne. Raffaella Lamberti (1989) has explained why it was politically important for the Women’s Center to establish such an archive. It should be noted that the Centro di Documentazione, since it was officially proposed in March 1982, has been a totally independent institution, although it draws financial and administrative support from the Regional Administration of Emilia-Romagna.

The evolution and the various stages of women's history is the essence of this article. This article records women's history on a more personal way. Over the years, Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies has published four special issues on women's oral history, which serve as chronological markers for the development of women's oral history. The author of this article built up her own methodology in order to record the oral history of women. The early days of carrying out women's oral history were exhilarating. The focus was laid upon women who formed the marginalized of society. Miners' wives, farmers' wives who remembered the Dust Bowl, even a single woman homesteader were interviewed and it was their experiences which were accounted for in recording women's history. A common pattern was to use excerpts from completed interviews to create public programs. A search for women's culture, words, feminism, and the problem of representation concludes this article.

Abstract While scholarship on Russian women’s history has flourished in recent decades, the participation of women in the 1917 Revolution continues to be under-researched and poorly understood. This article explores various reasons for the marginalization of women in studies of the revolution. It reviews promising recent research that recovers women’s experiences and voices, including work on women in the wartime labor force and soldiers’ wives, and argues for the usefulness of a feminist and gendered approach to studying 1917.
