SUMMARY:

This dissertation investigates discourses related to the presence of women in the workforce, as well as gender-related practices intellectuals integrated into Vargas´s New State did. These discourses were disseminated in publications subjected to censorship or published directly by governmental sectors responsible for propagating the actions of the state. Among the analyzed documents are laws, bulletins from the Ministry of Labor, Industry, and Commerce, the magazine "Cultura Política," and the archive of Minister Gustavo Capanema. In contrast to state discourses, the feminist claims of the Brazilian Federation for Feminine Progress were examined through letters activists sent to the rulers of the time. Aimingtoobserve how thewomen-worker issue was treated by institutional policy, the research goes back to the years spanning the First Republic and the end of the Constitutional Government of Vargas. The analysis of the discourse was conducted according to the Foucauldian conception which takes discourse as a producer of practices, silences, exclusions, and meanings in everyday life. The research work undertaken here pertains to the Political and Gender Historygenre. The author analyzed repetitions of a maternalistic discourse that considered women as legitimate homemakers, responsible for children and the reproductive services demanded by the home. The discursive repetitions and absences are analyzed through the contributions of Bourdieu and Judith Butler. Overall, it was observed, according to categories developed by Graciela Queirollo, that the work carried out by women was considered and designed to be temporary, complementary, and done exclusively out of the need for subsistence. This dissertation highlights the ideas disseminated by printed media and external factors that shaped the discourse and sometimes altered its intensity over the years.
