NORANDO, Verónica. Communism and Workers: the Women's Commission of the Textile Workers Union in Argentina, 1938-1946. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.155, pp.209-236. ISSN 2448-7554. https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v39i155.385.
Between 1938 and 1946, women in the textile industry in Argentina participated actively in the Unión Obrera Textil (UOT, Textile Workers’ Union). This paper analyzes the experience of those workers with Argentina’s Communist Party (Partido Comunista), which had taken over leadership of the Union in 1939. Also discussed is the formation of the Women's Commission within the Union and the strategies it developed to achieve insertion into the female sector of the textile working class, including what I call ‘female unionization’. The study is based on sources related to labor: El Obrero Textil (EOT) -the publication of the Unión Obrera Textil- La Obrera Textil (LOT), and La Página de la Mujer (LPM) -two sections of the EOT- as well as bulletins issued by the Communist Party.
