This article studies the local dimension of women's collective action during the 1930s in Tucumán, a city in northern Argentina. It follows multiple simultaneous trajectories: seamstresses belonging to two different unions, state agents, Catholic militants, and male union leaders. The wide range of components in the experience of female workers prevents them from being treated as a homogeneous group. The aim of this article is to reconstruct the meanings given by all these actors, but especially the women, to their work and their rights as workers and how social, policical, and religious factors influenced a gendered labor conflict. To find these meanings, I shall describe and analyze two strikes (1936 and 1942) declared by seamstresses who worked at home or sewed for third parties. Those conflicts were led by women and shaped by class disputes, tensions between gender representations, exploitation, religion, and also the State, the Catholic Church, the experience of the law, and the consolidation of a culture of rights. I am interested in exploring how these factors shaped the experience of these women and I intend to read the evidence as a function of patterns of social and economic relations within the universe of labor and the changes that took place in the regulation of home‐based work in Argentina.

劳动母亲：女裁缝工人在阿根廷的劳动斗争，1936年至1942年

本文研究了1930年代在阿根廷北部城市图克曼（Tucumán）妇女参与集体行动的地方层面。它遵循多个同时发生的轨迹：属于两个不同工会的裁缝，国家特工，天主教激进分子和男性工会领袖。女工经验丰富的组成部分使她们无法被视为同质群体。本文旨在重构所有这些行为者（尤其是妇女）赋予其工作及其作为工人的权利以及社会，政治和宗教因素如何影响性别劳动冲突的意义。为了找到这些含义，我将描述和分析由在家工作或为第三方缝制的裁缝所宣布的两次罢工（1936年和1942年）。这些冲突是由妇女主导的，由阶级纠纷，性别代表，剥削，宗教以及国家，天主教会，法律的经验以及巩固的权利文化之间的紧张关系所塑造。我感兴趣的是探索这些因素如何影响这些妇女的经历，我打算阅读证据，作为劳动领域内社会和经济关系的模式以及对家庭工作的监管发生的变化的函数在阿根廷。
