| Sumario: | This work will deal with the meanings and stereotypes constructed around two feminine identities that sparked a particular interest during the interwar period in the city of Rosario: women perceived as workers and perceived as consumers. These identities were configured within the tension that opposes the notions of labor against consumption, and that even today still creates a gendered logic for these practices. Both attributions, even if opposed, turned equally uncomfortable when confronted with the prevailing notions of femininity and modernity. They were analyzed as a problem, and the response of the mainstream discourse ranged from denial to dismissal all the way to public chastisement, as well as a battery of pedagogical, moral and legal regulations. |
