História, gênero e trabalho: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This work aims to carry out a bibliographic review on the articulation between history, gender, and labor. It intends to analyze how Brazilian and international historiography incorporated the "gender" category to understand the experience of female workers, examining the main premises, critiques, and renewals of this field of study. Methodologically, the research is characterized as a bibliographic review of reference works, encompassing classic authors of Women's History—such as Joan Scott, Michelle Perrot, and Louise Tilly—and fundamental works in the Brazilian scenario. The analysis traces the theoretical evolution of the field, from the emergence of women's history to the consolidation of the gender category as a constituent element of social and power relations. The results show that contemporary labor historiography is inseparable from the gender perspective and the intersectionality between race and class, being indispensable for understanding the tensions and multiple experiences present in the history of labor.
