This study analyzes the narratives of rural women workers about work in the context of family farming. Eighteen women associated with the rural workers social movement from the north-western region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil participated in this study. The methodological strategies adopted the genealogical approach in an ethnographic perspective. The resulting narratives express intersections between practices, linking the domestic spaces, of the farm and the social movement. The research findings raise reflections associated with the understanding of work as the maintenance of life and the possibility of transforming oneself and the world while the relationships between work and political action are seen as both achievements and challenges by these female rural workers.

Keywords : Work; Female rural workers; Political action; Social movement; Subjectivity.
