At home and... on the streets: cartography of women around the city (Campina Grande, 1930-1945)

This article brings a specific gaze into women's world. The locus of our study is the city of Campina Grande (Paraíba) from 1930 to 1945, emphasising the meanings and implications of some activities carried out by working class women through the city, and the ways they used its spaces and territories. We also seek to rebuild everyday aspects of their trajectories through streets and suburbs, focusing singular characteristics of anonymous women who appeared at the urban scene turning it into a place of multiple practices, relations and conflicts.
