Résumé:
In the mid-twentieth century the city of Campina Grande, the so-called Capital of
Labor, invested in industrialization and behaved many factories, but, in this study, we
will focus on only the processing factories, spinning and weaving. We arrested our
attention in the world of work, because in these textiles manufacturing spaces
occurred experiences and experiences of women workers, reason of this study. To
carry out our work, we mainly use the methodology of oral history, getting reports of
women's memoirs, former workers of the factories. We Told the stories of women
workers especially focusing on three areas: the place where these stories occurred,
that is, the city of Campina Grande where they lived and where the textile factories
worked; ; their experiences inside the factory (relations and working conditions,
industrial accidents, conflicts) and the outside factory experiences (home, leisure and
entertainment, affection and education). So we seek to apprehend the specificities,
singularities, the daily practices of these women in their moments of work, and in
hers leisure time. We think that, by studying the everyday working practices of these
former workers with their singularities and specificities, we are contributing to
understand the issues of pertaining to the daily work of the popular women in textile
mills, not only in our city but in Paraíba and Brazil.
