Descripción
This work analyzes the social relationships of gender, the differentiated valorization of the work accomplished by men
and women in Minas’ family farming. The methodology of the research was based on a qualitative approach through
the case study in Cachoeirinha community, situated 8 km away from the town of Lavras-MG. Cachoeirinha is mainly
inhabited by family-farmers who combine agricultural and non-agricultural business together. Women dedicate
themselves household chores, farming, kitchen gardening and small animals. They reckon their household tasks as
non profit- generating labor and as part of the female duties. Their subordination to family, husbands/children is
explicit. In that rural community, patriarchal power stands out, restricting and subordinating women's participation.
