This study aimed to analyze the conception of women on the construction of gender
in the job market and their conditions often inferiorized. This research had as
interlocutors the women residing in Miranorte, Miracema and Palmas -TO, who
perform "considered" male professions, emphasizing their perceptions, experiences
and challenges in the world of work. It was sought to understand how these women
understand their feminine condition in the world of work and how they face socially
constructed differences and hierarchies about gender. In the bibliographical
research, we sought to analyze the category of gender and the historical, social and
economic path of women in capitalist society, problematizing the lack of equality in
the relations between men and women and their trajectory in society. Five
professionals were interviewed, randomly selected and the data collection
materialized with semi-structured interviews, through a questionnaire prepared in
advance, opening space for new questions. It was found that women have
increasingly achieved notoriety and space in the world of work as subjects of rights,
however, the results of the research show that the gender inequalities persist in the
labor market of Tocantins. There were reports of some manifestations of chauvinism
and harassment in work environments, however, professionals did not seek for legal
mechanisms to combat these practices. The interviewees maintain the work / family
articulation, reconciling the work with the double journey, being the main responsible
for the domestic work. The research highlights that the search for equal rights, wages
and social treatments without discrimination and without subalternity must remain
alive and active.
