Abstract This article analyzes four contemporary short stories written by Basque author Eider Rodríguez that address women’s obstacles and oppressive conditions in the labor market. Using the theories of feminist economists such as Amaia Pérez Orozco, Cristina Carrasco Bengoa, and Lourdes Benería, I analyze how in these narratives women are forced to leave their paid jobs when becoming mothers, being reduced to a maternal and domestic identity, or they try to reconcile their professional and family life, thus suffering physical and mental exhaustion and emotional instability. The short stories also show the poor working conditions that women face, having to work in low-paid jobs and suffering workplace harassment from their bosses. Rodríguez criticizes the lack of participation by husbands in household chores and reveals how neoliberal capitalism is heteropatriarchal by not valuing women’s care work and taking advantage of them in the labor market.

Mujeres que trabajan: La economía feminista en la narrativa de Eider Rodríguez

摘要 本文分析了巴斯克作家艾德·罗德里格斯 (Eider Rodríguez) 撰写的四篇当代短篇小说，这些短篇小说讲述了劳动力市场中女性的障碍和压迫条件。我使用女权主义经济学家（如 Amaia Pérez Orozco、Cristina Carrasco Bengoa 和 Lourdes Benería）的理论，分析了在这些叙述中，女性如何在成为母亲后被迫离开有偿工作，沦为母性和家庭身份，或者她们试图调和他们的职业和家庭生活，从而遭受身心疲惫和情绪不稳定。这些短篇小说还展示了女性面临的恶劣工作条件，她们不得不从事低薪工作，并在工作场所遭受老板的骚扰。
