Descripción
The article is about the women’s work in the extractivism of mangaba from the
autonomy point of view. A case study was conducted in the Espírito Santo community in
the county of Maracanã, in Pará State. Main methodological procedures were observation
and open and semi-structured interviews. Three key aspects are analyzed: the organization
of women’s work (at home and in the field), the arrangements for processing and sale, and
the benefits of the income generated by extractivism. The results show that most women
(66%) believe that they have autonomy in the way they organize their work and the use of
income from the sale of fruits, which contradicts academic research on family farm in which
women’s work is generally subordinate to men.
