Critical theories of law and the formation of women's labor rights

Abstract

Feminism as a social movement presents countless expressions and forms of action and the same is seen in its relation to Law. The feminist critique of the Law is vast and plural, presenting different ways of interpreting it, either as a tool of struggle for women, or as a maximum expression of women's subordination in the patriarchal logic. Thus, in view of the different points of view observable in the development of feminism, from the beginning of the 20th century, we will seek to identify the forms of action of the Brazilian feminist movement in relation to the labor norms in formation at the time, bringing up women and his actions that disputed the meanings of the regulation of labor relations proposed by Getúlio Vargas from 1930 onwards.
