La historia obrera: Una línea de investigación de la "histoire des femmes"

Abstract

This article pays attention to one of two main strands in the development of the histoire des femmes, namely Labour History. From the sixties onwards, and taking into account the works of some pioneers, the incidence of social changes on historical investigation allowed the development of the interest in women as a subject and object of history. Part of that great initial effort came from a group of female historians who focused their interests on the study of women as an essential component of Labour History. They created the most important centres of studies and promoted the main works which constituted the mainstays of current research on the histoire des femmes.
