In this article we discuss the trajectory of the formation of the historiography of "The History of Women and Gender Relations" in Brazil. To this end we have focused on works published from the 1980s on; on the research carried out; and on the categories of analysis used to try to draw a panorama of the formation of this discipline. We also show the way in which the categories 'Woman', 'Women' and 'Gender Relations' have been the target of discussions, appropriations and disputes.
