SCHWENDLER, Sônia Fátima. The Sexual Division of Labour in the Countryside from a Young Peasant Perspective. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e58051.  Epub 01-Ene-2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n158051.

Based on young peasant narratives, this article analyses the sexual division of labour in rural areas, focusing on tensions produced by generational differences. Data obtained from four stages of pedagogical workshops (2015-2016), using the life history methodology with 150 young people from two schools based in agrarian reform settlements in Paraná, show the impacts of gendered labour on the process of peasant youth socialization. The study provides evidence of generational conflicts in a shifting context, as well as the pedagogical and cultural impact stemming from access to systematic knowledge and debates on the theme, especially, the revision of prejudices and the shift of discourses, practices and attitudes towards gender equality, notably, through the agency of young peasant women.
