- Title
La Nueva Ola Feminista y las luchas de las mujeres trabajadoras ¿Por qué luchamos?
- Authors

- Abstract
During the last five years we have witnessed a New Feminist Wave worldwide characterized by two elements: a) The crisis of neoliberal capitalism that began in 2008 and its expression in austerity plans, increases in the precariousness of the labor market, and increases in poverty and unemployment. The New Feminist Wave is part of the protest movements that have emerged in the heat of the crisis. b) The importance that the work that women do in contemporary capitalist society has taken in it, that is, the role of women in social reproduction work. The International Women's Strike, as the main articulation instance of the movement at international level, marks the centrality of this class element in the women's movement and at the same time it marks the centrality of women in the class that moves the world. In this article, we analyze the relationship between the rise of the women's movement and the women workers claims through four strike events that have the particularity of being developed in the workplace and being led by women.
