TORRES, Iraildes Caldas. A visibilidade do trabalho das mulheres Ticunas da Amazônia. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2007, vol.15, n.02, pp.469-475. ISSN 1806-9584.

This paper analyzes the Amazon Indian craftsmanship, done by Ticuna Women. Crafts are shown to be an important product in the strong positive development in the rural Amazon community. It works with data observed and collected in research done as a consultant for Sebrae/Amazonas in 2004. It shows how women work is an organizing element of the domestic economy for the Ticuna ethnicity. A principal feature of the sexual division of labor places women as having more responsibility for family maintenance.

Keywords : Work; Ticuna Women; Ethnicity; Amazon.
