“WORSE THAN MEN”

Abstract

Although women's movements have received considerable scholarly attention, the role of women in movements that are not overtly gender based has not. Gender, however, plays a significant role in generic movements (i.e., movements seeking general benefits that are not necessarily restricted to one sex). Over a 20-year period, an urban squatter settlement in Brazil experienced five collective campaigns, not one of which was gender conscious, but all of which were shaped by gender. In these collective campaigns, everything from participation to strategies to outcomes was grounded in the gender-based division of labor in the community.
