Igualdade de gênero e divisão sexual do trabalho: subalternidades, enfrentamentos e resistências a partir da percepção de mulheres trabalhadoras da cidade de Guarabira/PB

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze how women workers linked to commerce perceive the subalternities to which they are conditioned, the individual constraints they have and the forms of resistance they develop in the context of the sexual division of labor. We seek to understand how women’s perception of the sexual division of labor and the forms of mobilization and resistance regarding situations of gender inequality are still rooted in our society. Using the research technique of the semistructured interview, this is a qualitative study, which has the city of Guarabira/PB as locus of the research. It is expected that this study and the results here pointed out may contribute to the understanding of how the women interviewed consider ways of overcoming that gender inequality.
