This study analyzes the role assigned to women in production systems involving urban families. For such, besides the theoretical research, a case study was conducted, comparing two family production systems in Caruaru/PE, which perform activities historically undertaken by women: the craft of clay and the making of clothes, through faction. According to the literature, despite the contribution and increasing female participation in the labor world, this participation still occurs in a hierarchical, unequal and less valued manner compared to their male counterparts. This occurs due to the influence of the patriarchal system and the continued sexual division of labor present in gender relations that throughout history constituted power relations in the form of male domination and permeated various social institutions. Within this context, it is necessary to understand gender relations in the workplace in order to give visibility to the important role played by women. Faced with such socio-historical context, the struggle for economic and social rights of women has the challenge to, beyond ensuring formal equality, finding possible paths to promote substantive equality between women and men. Hence, it is argued that economic empowerment and effective participation of women in the economy is an important factor for their empowerment. The methodological framework was the Extended Case Method, which aims to broaden the understanding of the case study to the general framework of society. Thus, we performed a case study that compared the data collected in the field and analyzed it by the technique of content analysis. The findings reveal a rich field of debate amid new configurations of labor relations, a process marked by impacts of globalization in which elements of capitalism and patriarchy combine each other and show the complexity of contemporary society that unevenly interferes in the daily life of women and men. Therefore, to study these changes help identifying events and processes that cause important consequences in social life and allow conceiving ways to overcome existing inequalities.
