Women and Solidarity Economy: time to discuss the relationship!

The emergence of the social economy includes features not yet explored for the presence of women in space, such as increasing female participation in expressive and articulate groups, particularly in political organizations which are also as a social movement, the most significant participation in groups more fragile and precarious, and the fact that they are both hidden and invisible in reports about the origins and historical facts of the solidarity economy and the significant participation in groups, without the established parameters to analyze the conditions of production of absence. This paper proposes a discussion of the issues debated. To this end, reconstructs the historical landscape of the solidarity economy, its peculiarities in Brazil and Latin America, proposing a dialogue with the theory developed in the context of gender feminist, aiming to reconstruct the path of women in the analyzed field and questioning the relationships that culminate in their invisibility as a subject. Finally, reflect on the meanings and reverberations produced by this relationship both for workers and for the social movement formed around the Solidarity Economy..
