Gender and textile trade unionism in Spain (1840-1923)
| This paper tries to fill a gap in Spanish Historiography about trade unions and women’s work during industrial revolution. It’s truth that this question has been studied by the most of European national historiographies, but not in Spain where historians haven’t made a wide-ranging analysis. Paper will analyze roll of several Spanish textile unions about gender speech and unionism strategies, from the earliest worker’s movement to the first national trade unions, like TCV or CNT. As other European countries, Spanish textile unions will develop women exclusion strategies of mills and they defended that woman place was at home. In this way, paper describes the changes about woman exclusion speech and unionism politics from 1840 to 1923, and at the same time tries to extract general conclusions in order to compare with other European cases.
