Gender and class in Brazil's agricultural women's movements
Abstract
In this article, I reflect upon demands of class and gender in
three Brazilian social movements: syndicalism, Rural Women’s
Movement (MMC) and the Rural Landless Workers Movement
(MST). The relevance of this study is that it helps to elucidate
differences between demands of class and gender using a
qualitative methodology, based on interviews with women and
leaders from the movements. Conclusions show the ideological,
political and gender complexities present in each of these
tendencies. Class demands consider labor rights in equality with
men, without questioning the traditional family approach; while
gender demands consider labor rights more in relation to education
and health, questioning the traditional family approach. The
conducting thread of the analysis is exclusion of women in land
ownership.
