Abstract
Labor movement studies have, for long, been focusing separately on class and gender, since they understood that these categories were incompatible, focusing on unilateral causalities. The aim of this article is to offer a different perspective, including the gender and class analysis in social history in a joint and non-exclusionary method. To accomplish this task I discuss the approaches of feminism, gender studies and social history. By analyzing these theories I propose categories that are able to grasp this interlacement of social relations. Thus, I propose the fundamental concept of generalized class and I demonstrate the importance of a complex analysis. Social studies, especially those of the working class must include in their focus the specific oppression of working women.
