This approach involves integrating their work with that of men, on which traditional historiography has focused, reflecting on the established gender relations. Specifically, it addresses the academic itinerary of Dr. María de las Mercedes Constanzó (1909-1998), a distinguished physical anthropologist and a pioneer in the discipline in Argentina. The reconstruction of her career entails, on the one hand, analyzing her main scientific works, participation in academic events, and official documentation related to her teaching and research activities. On the other hand, interviews were conducted with the researcher's family. While the first group of sources provides institutional information and insights into the macrohistory of the discipline, access to personal data contributes to understanding the microhistory, resulting in a more comprehensive view of her professional career and the history of anthropology. By situating her experiences within the national and disciplinary historical framework, this study explores the limitations imposed on women in a patriarchal society and the strategies they employed to overcome them. Este trabajo busca contribuir a recuperar las trayectorias femeninas en el ámbito académico de la antropología desde una perspectiva de género. Este enfoque implica articular la labor de las mujeres con la de los hombres, sobre la cual se ha focalizado la historiografía tradicional, reflexionando sobre las relaciones de género establecidas. En particular, se aborda el itinerario académico de la doctora María de las Mercedes Constanzó (1909-1998), destacada antropóloga física pionera en la disciplina en Argentina. La reconstrucción de su trayectoria se llevó a cabo, por un lado, mediante el análisis de sus principales producciones científicas, su participación en eventos académicos y la documentación oficial donde ella ejerció la docencia e investigación. Por otro lado, se realizaron entrevistas a la familia de la investigadora. Mientras que el primer grupo de fuentes aporta información institucional y una visión de la macrohistoria de la disciplina, el acceso a datos personales contribuye a la microhistoria, logrando en su conjunto un panorama más comprensivo de su carrera profesional y de la historia de la antropología. Al situar su experiencia en el marco histórico disciplinar y nacional, se exploran tanto las limitaciones impuestas a las mujeres en la sociedad patriarcal como las estrategias empleadas para superarlas.
