ARAUJO, Iara Maria; LIMA, Jacob Carlos  y  BORSOI, Izabel Cristina Ferreira. Operárias no Cariri cearense: fábrica, família e violência doméstica. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.03, pp.705-732. ISSN 1806-9584.

In this article, we will argue about the changes represented by the entrance of women in the factory work in a region of recent industrialization, aiming at verifying to which extent such insertion, in a context of employment crisis in a region marked by informal labor activities, has influenced the redefinition of the family roles and increased conflicts that cause domestic violence. A group of 14 women workers that denounced the domestic violence in Crato City, Ceará State, was observed. We intend to recoup the changes perceived by these workers in its life of work and its ordinary life. The women entrance in the public sphere tends to pressure for changes in the traditional roles of gender with distinct gradations, since adjustments in the domestic life until disruption of the family group.

Palabras clave : Women Workers; Gender Roles; Factories in Brazil Northeast; Domestic Violence.
