The apparearance, towards late 1960s, of farm women demonstrations constitutes a symbolic rupture : demonstrating and representing the whole trade is no longer men's prerogative. A labour division is taking shape : often violent and exclusively male actions, on the one hand, symbolic female actions, on the other hand. The fact that these demonstrations could have been considered by unions structures-characterized by a low level of female representationgives evidence of the emergence of a claiming ability among farm women that unions capitalize for the benefit of a renewed strategy of staging of the peasant mobilization, at the expense of the expression of specifically female claims.
