Feminismo e Marxismo: reflexões sobre a relação patriarcado e capitalismo no Brasil nos anos 1980 e 1990.

Abstract

The entrance of women in the work force is marked by specificities, the space occupied by them as historical subject posseses particularities, being envoled in relations of exploitation and patriarcal oppression, based in the ideology of a supposed “biological” nature which conditions the universe of the feminine to subservience and passivity. The presente work intends to analyse and comprehend the relations established between capitalismo and the patriarchy with the massive entrance of women in the work force of Brazil after their massive entrance in the stipendiary Market, discussing in ample form the relation between opression and exploration of women and highlighting the condition of dominated-exploited of women in the capitalista system, evidencing the feminist-marxist theoretical contribution and it’s unfoldings. The capitalista system, at first, does not differentiate markers like gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity when it comes to exploiting the work force, maintaining and abstracting the idea of workers legally free to compete selling their work force. Nonetheless, what would justify, then, the payment of unequal salaries between men and women and the fact that women do not ascend to higher positions of prestige and power? In Brazil, women receive less than 20% less in relation to men in all áreas. This study adopts a perspective predominantly qualitative of bibliographical nature, the light of marxista theory about class and the class struggle.
