| Summary: | The article focuses on how peasant and worker women deal with norms and rules
about birth, ageing and death, in the process of getting access to social rights, especially to
Social Security. The aim is to analyze difficulties and strategies used by women in order to comply
with the legal demands of proof of work experience in family farming by way of civil and professional
documents. Research was undertaken in the municipalities of Santa Cruz da Baixa Verde and
Triunfo, in the Pernambuco Sertão in Northeast Brazil. The absence of documents reveals how
parameters of modernity are installed in the nation, understanding them as necessarily related
to gender, class, race, ethnicity and geopolitical criteria. |
