SCOCCO, Marianela. The intersectionality of work. The transformations in the feminine work in Argentina. Reflexiones [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.1, pp.77-84. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v97i1.30511.

This article investigates the massive incorporation of female labor into a new social and sexual division of labor in the context of an international crisis of the model of capitalist accumulation in the 1970s. It analyzes the category of gender traversed by those of work and class. Complementarily, some notes are needed on how these transformations were made in the world of work in Argentina from the 1980s, to visualize the problem in a concrete case. Finally, the expression life-work-class of the Brazilian sociologist Ricardo Antunes is used to give contemporary validity to the Marxist concept of the working class and, in this way, to discuss the relations between class and gender. We conclude that, in a deeper process of emancipation of the human race, there is a need for joint and indispensable action among men and women who belong to the working class. But the struggle of women for their emancipation is also an action against the socio-historical forms of male oppression. And in this sense, the feminist struggle is precapitalist and will also be post-capitalist, since the end of class society does not directly signify the end of gender oppression.

Palabras clave : Capital; work; class; gender; woman.
