Women’s History and Ancient History in Spain: a historiographical assessment (1980-2008). Women’s History is today a solid scientific discipline that is well-established in Spanish’s higher education centres for research and teaching, as well as on an international level. Its academic legitimacy, after more that thirty years, and in spite of the hostility, or at least disdain, of the androcentric academia, lies on the fact that it is no longer questioned that History -understood either as the constant development of Humanity or the science that studies it– cannot be approached without considering women as historic subjects. This paper analyses the most representative lines that have determined the historiographic advance of this current in Spanish Universities, in the area of Ancient History, as well as its main fields of research, its focus and theoretical debates, and its methodological tools, throughout its evolution from the very first manifestations in the 1980s to the present.
