For several years the field of so-called Recent History has gained special legitimacy, at least within Argentine historiography. As numerous investigations have shown, in Argentina in the 1970s, women were active participants in various social and political-military organizations. However, after the democratic recovery of the eighties and a good part of the nineties, the narratives that gave an account of such participation were made invisible. From these coordinates, in this article we propose to make some theoretical-methodological reflections on the links between gender and memory in recent history. We will point out, on the one hand, the contributions that the history of women with a gender perspective conferred on traditional historiography. On the other hand, we will reflect on the links between gender and memory in the narratives of women and men political activists. Finally, we will make a brief tour of the productions that from the field of recent history have analyzed the sixties and seventies in our country.
