This article offers a systematized reflection linking collective signifiers emerging from the pandemic experience with the issue of care from a gender perspective and in historical perspective. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out with qualitative methods. The opportunity to rethink hierarchical binaries such as rationality versus corporality, masculinity/femininity and society versus nature is evidenced, also problematizing the contradiction of being a dominant species due to the human capacity to produce technology and culture and at the same time the most dependent on care.
