El objetivo de este trabajo es abordar los sentidos y estereotipos construidos en torno a dos identidades femeninas que suscitaron especial interés durante el período de entreguerras en la ciudad de Rosario, esto es: las mujeres vistas como trabajadoras y como consumidoras. Estas identidades se configuraron dentro de la tensión que opone las nociones de trabajo y consumo, y que otorga (aún en la actualidad) sentidos generizados a estas prácticas. Ambas adscripciones - aunque opuestas - se tornaron igualmente incómodas al confrontarlas con las nociones de feminidad y de modernidad imperantes, fueron abordadas en términos de problema y suscitaron una serie de respuestas por parte de los discursos autorizados que podían ir desde la negación o la subvaloración hasta la reprimenda pública, pasando por un despliegue de regulaciones de carácter pedagógico, moral o legal.
