This review articleproposes to make a discussion about gender studies and the historical course of sexuality as social constructions. We point to an understanding of sexuality, permeated by contingent social values. We indicate the way inwhich the woman was placed in a position of subalternity form discourses that legitimized the bodies of men as normal, full and healthy, to the detriment of women’s bodies. We start from the problematic that sexuality as a historical and social constructioncan be appropriated by the discourses of education for the affirmation and/or recognition of the homosexual woman?And in the end we propose to weave dialogues about the device of the “closet” and its implications in education as form orresistance against the hegemony centered on the mechanism of oppression.
