Resumen
The following dissertation studies the insertion of peasant women in the conflict for land
since the occupation process, dispossession and construction of the settlement New Horizon II, in
the municipal district of Maxaranguape. It analyses their participation in the conflict Valley of
the Hope", that resulted in the settlements New Life II and New Horizon II in the municipal
district of Maxaranguape. The analysis exposes the reasons which took the peasant women, after
the land conquest, to go back into domestic space and/or to assume positions of lesser relevance
in the political organizations of the settlement. In the conflict Valley of the Hope, the women had
a fundamental role, facing the police violence, being front line of the conflicts against the
repression forces, risking their lives and the life of their families. After the conquest of the land,
transformed into the New Horizon II Settlement, there are a lot of changes in the participation of
the women. We can observe that, despite the protagonism of the families, in special of the
women in the Valley of the Hope conflict, these female workers still experiment unequal social,
economic, political and cultural conditions in relation to the men, expressing the gender
inequalities which are found in the daily life of the settlement: in the community, in the domestic
and agricultural task. The conflict for the land in the Valley of the Hope and the conquest of the
settlement did not necessarily mean the incorporation of the emancipation of the peasant women.
However, the political participation in the development of the conflicts allowed to the women the
self discovering and the beginning of an emancipation process as gender. There are signals of
continuities and ruptures of the present culture, almost always stimulated by the organization of
the agricultural female workers
