Abstract

This article delimits the mark of Jean-Jacques Rousseau´s works in Immanuel Kant´s thinking regarding women´s way of being and appearing within the context of modern, enlightened society. Besides, it proposes an exercise of reading and recuperating key works of the abovementioned authors, a contextualizing of their thinking. So, on the basis of the contributions offered at the present by authors such as Pierre Bourdieu and Françoise Héritier, it discusses the difference between woman and femininity, and recuperates the historicity inhabiting in the last mentioned category. This way it manages to recuperate what Kant, following Rousseau, conceived in order to site women in modern society.
