Research on women and archives spans three decades, offering significant contributions to understanding female presence and influence. However, there's currently a lack of gender-oriented approach to user studies. This essay aims to illustrate the case study of the State Archive of Genoa (1883-2016). Analyzing consultation data reveals archival usage dynamics, paving the way for further research. Aspects concerning diminished autonomy of female scholars due to patriarchal influences await confirmation through broader cases, prompting investigation into women's specific documentation interests and approaches, currently unclear in archival analyses.

Abstract
Research on women and archives spans three decades, offering significant contributions to understanding female presence and influence. However, there's currently a lack of gender-oriented approach to user studies. This essay aims to illustrate the case study of the State Archive of Genoa (1883-2016). Analyzing consultation data reveals archival usage dynamics, paving the way for further research. Aspects concerning diminished autonomy of female scholars due to patriarchal influences await confirmation through broader cases, prompting investigation into women's specific documentation interests and approaches, currently unclear in archival analyses.
