In order to do that, it is presented a discussion on the implications of the condition of “being a woman, being a workwoman” in the participation of social movements as well as the perspective of the research about the moment of Brazilian syndicalism known as “New Syndicalism”. In that context, the third largest Trade Union of this workers category in the state of São Paulo, the SMCR, inserted at a relevant economical and industrial Brazilian spot, following the riots of ABC Paulista, it is present in the famous claims for better salary and work conditions that took place very important demands of the 1980s.
