Abstract

The Brazilian social legislation included laws and right regarding women and a regulation that established conditions to join the labor market. The composition of this legislation was made among negotiations and conflicts in which feminist¿s and workers¿ movements and other political organizations had an imperative role. These organizations were all connected by a debate that took place after Great War and became transnational. This research built a historical narrative regarding women¿s right by the means of labor legislation. I intended to investigate the specificities of women¿s work regulation between 1917 and 1937, from the 1917 strikes in São Paulo to the creation of National Women¿s Department in 1937. To do so, I research the legislative propositions, using a transnational approach and the perspective of the workers¿ movement and the relations they had with the feminist movement with the intention to find an explanation regarding women¿s role in the struggle for their own rights. The main objective was to research part of the historical process regarding the search for equality of rights and conditions between women and men in the labor world. As historical sources, I used official papers, from Brazil and international organization, as ILO ¿ International Labor Organization, newspapers and police records (AU)
