RESUMO:

The history of women in the sciences has become a very complex area of study. Objects,
models, methods, and epistemologies of science came to be questioned with the advent of
feminist theories in the academic environment. In this work, we explore implications of this
field in the historiography of the sciences, thus reflecting on the writing of women's stories in
the sciences. For this, this research is divided into two parallel studies: in the first one, we
present a review of the historiographic contributions from History and History of Sciences for
the writing of women's stories in science; and in the second, we investigate how the experiences
of biographers who wrote life histories of women scientists, as well as the public repercussion
of such biographies, can theoretically contribute to studies on the biographies of women in the
sciences. To meet these objectives, we reviewed the primary historiographic studies referring
to the writing of women's history, going through historical research, the history of sciences, and
feminist theories. Besides, to attend the second study, we also analyzed three cases of
biographical experiences: The biography of geneticist Barbara McClintock, by Evelyn Fox
Keller (1983); The biography of biochemist Dorothy Hodgkin, by Georgina Ferry (1998); and
the biography of Marie Curie, by Barbara Goldsmith (2005). Finally, we hope that this research
will contribute towards equipping historians of the sciences interested (or not) in writing stories
and biographies of women scientists, providing reflections in their writing processes.
