Abstract

At first glance, the present article inscribes its crux of reflection around Olga Cossettini´s life, a woman from Santa Fe who lived between 1898 and 1987, systematically practiced her teaching profession and intellectual labor, as well as she took care to bequeath us a complete personal file (epistolary, diaries, manuscripts, etc.). But here, Cossettini´s figure will be a pretext in order to habilitate our analysis. Thus, we will discuss the link between biography and history within the contemporary historiographic field. Biography will be understood as a way to historicize, but also as a source that allows to complex the general historiographical analysis and the specific one related to women´s history.
