Journal Title: Revista de Estudios Marítimos y Sociales - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This is a study of the labor movement in a perspective that involves the analysis of class with gender. We study in detail how the working woman was challenged in the union newspaper of the Textile Workers Union, the Textile Workers from 1933 to 1946. In this instance and in a broader investigation, we consider the look of the guild and its offcers, who were mostly men, but also of the few militants who wrote in the newspaper, with axis in the social relations of gender and class. He notes how working women challenged the textile industry, which were the most important variables of this interpellation. Shaft is made on how they play the gender identity and class identity in the constitution of this representation. Also pay attention to how women’s work is seen, how they experience the growing number of women in this industry (positively or negatively) how is government intervention through social policies to working women and what changes manifest themselves in this discourse, with changes in the leadership of the guild.
