SALAZAR MARIN, Liz Magaly. Female workers in the textile industry, Metropolitan Lima: 1968-1975. Desde el Sur [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1, pp.79-96. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1201-2020-0006.

This paper analyzes the relationship between labor and the political participation of female workers in the textile industry in Metropolitan Lima from 1968 to 1975.

The aim is to contribute to the historical reconstruction of the world of work for textile workers during a period of reform which Velasco described as revolutionary. In this context, the participation in the labor market of female textile workers enabled them to generate added value to production, thereby guaranteeing supply to the domestic market while generating their own income as workers, and contributing to the economic significance of the industry at a state level. Finally, on the political stage, female textile workers gained a presence and became active in unions and within industrial communities during the Velasco era.

Keywords : female workers; textile industry; Velasquismo.
