Abstract

This article presents some contributions to thinking about the question of the increasing precariousness of women’s employment today. It takes as its point of departure the reflections of Heleieth Saffioti in the book Women in Class Society: Myth and Reality, placing them in a dialogue with studies on care work and the contributions of the field of feminist economy studies
