SUMMARY:

This research seeks to analyze the experience of women through unemployment. The materialist

feminism was used as a theoretical-methodological approach, considering the sexual division of labor

and social relations of sex; and Historical-Cultural Psychology, from the perspective of Vygotski, in

what involves the concepts of senses, meaning and experience. In-depth interviews were carried out

with 14 unemployed women in involuntary situations of non-paid work, due to lack of job

opportunities or who work irregularly/occasionally, with a desire to get a formal job. Contact with

these women took place at a public employment agency in Natal/RN. The participants reports were

categorized and processed with the aid of the QDA Miner statistical qualitative analysis software, and

analyzed from the meaning cores. In this study, it was concluded that the feelings of women facing

unemployment are: frustration, guilt, sadness, anguish, uselessness, impotence, unproductivity,

incapacity and anger. The main barriers faced when looking for a job are: the financial difficulty to

participate in selection processes; preference for candidates with experience in the intended role; lack

of job opportunities; the disparities between the desired position and professional qualification; in the

obstacle of having a child; and giving priority to the most qualified professionals. In addition, being a

woman in the world of work includes: experiencing the challenge of a double working day; suffering

prejudice to the detriment of maternity leave; and living with different requirements in the work

environment and in selective processes. In addition, women made it clear that they are working in

precarious jobs, have a low level of education and have low social prestige, with many of these work

links being associated with care activities, in addition to recurring commitments and interruptions in

their professional careers due to responsibilities in the domestic sphere.
