CANAVESSI, Pablo. La rebelión de las aprendizas: cultura legal y conflictividad laboral en los Tribunales de Trabajo. Olavarría, 1951. Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.89-115. ISSN 0524-9767.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/bol.rav.n52.7171.

The following article aims to reconstruct the experience of women workers in Buenos Aires Province labor courts during the first peronism. By analyzing a judicial file initiated in Olavarría at the beginning of the decade of the 1950s, the purpose of the investigation is to explore different aspects of the labor conflict and the intervention of a set of social agents that have not been properly attended as object of study by historiography: lawyers, local delegates of the CGT, district officials of the MTyP, labor judges and magistrates of the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires Province. The reconstruction of the exact moment in which labor institutions and trade unionism break into a small factory, where paternalistic labor relations and private arrangements used to prevail, offers the possibility to dimension the process of state expansion in labor matters. The reduction of the observation scale and a careful approach to class relations but also to gender relations, allows us to explore the ways in which the creation of the Labor Courts benefited female workers and, on the other hand, the forms in which the uses of the law by workers and their lawyers transformed the nature of these institutions.
