Women and work, the job of focusing on life

Abstract

This paper presents relevant aspects for understanding the transformation of women in the workplace
from trades, particularly dressmaking. Changes that lead to understand their participation in the public
world, a transit, from the execution of a trade, approaching the domestic level allows their work to reach
the public stage. A movement which suggests, despite these transits, that a woman is not dissociated from
her home connected nature, but it seems that everything has changed around her. This short text relates
how women who work in trades initially have two jobs which constitute the mainstay of their essence in the
home based on the ritual of food and caring from dressmaking, in order to reach the central reflection that
occurs about women and work. Regarding the processes of individualization to understand how a woman
takes on the job, based on the features of a trade.
