This paper covers the militancy of popular class women within Mothers' Clubs, Ecclesiastical Communities and Pastorals of the Catholic Church. Such militancy implies a differentiation between "leaders" and the other participants. This differentiation is defined by specific motivations and interests related to the commitment and militancy as "leader" in these forms of association. These motivations and interests can be understood by analyzing the rewards for militant activities and their relationships with the exercise of leadership and with the meanings associated with militant action.
