RESUMO

Whatever comes up I do: woman and modernization in the Southwest of the State of Goiás, Brazil is a result of a research carried out in the Masters studies in Education, enrolled under the Research Area: Education, Work and Social Movements, from the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás. The research investigates features of working womens lives, in order to understand the dynamics of their life, their conception of family and work, and the role they attribute to education, exploring the way they think, feel, live and give meaning to their daily routine, trying to understand mainly how this social condition is constructed. In order to do so, a field research was carried out, involving fifteen women, through semi-structured interviews, totaling an amount of 32 recording hours, in the city of Jataí, in the Southwest of the State of Goiás, Brazil. As the basis for this study I used theories by Castel, Florestan Fernandes, Octávio Ianni, Habermas, and Adorno, among other authors. The results point to the fact that the social insertion of women in the work market is still limited. Moreover, the majority of them are in a situation of vulnerability. Nevertheless, we noticed that their participation in the family income, as a result of their struggle for survival, has brought to them a liberal autonomy inside the family, which is perceived in the confrontation with the social reality, representing a break with an almost single standard of eternal dependence on their partner.
