El periodo de transición a la democracia en España ha sido considerado tradicionalmente como un punto de inflexión en los vectores temáticos que marcan la agenda feminista. Los comportamientos generalmente observados en partidos políticos de diversa ideología sobre el trabajo femenino quedarán traducidos en discursos de carácter socioeconómico, que unas veces responderán a las políticas de igualdad de oportunidades reclamadas por las feministas, y otras ocasiones mostrarán residuos de la<br />concepción tradicional del rol femenino. En este artículo se analizarán los discursos de distintos partidos políticos en distintas convocatorias electorales en el periodo apuntado<br />anteriormente.<br /><br />The period of transition to democracy in Spain has traditionally been viewed as a turning point in the thematic vectors that set the feminist agenda. The behaviour usually seen in political parties of diverse ideologies on women's work will be translated into socio-economic speeches that sometimes respond to the equal opportunity policies<br />claimed by feminists, and other times will remain some aspects about the traditional female role. This article analyzes the speeches of various political parties in various<br />elections in the period mentioned above.<br /><br />

This final chapter returns to Ford, Dagenham to analyse the second strike that was organised by female sewing-machinists for skill recognition in the winter of 1984-1985. Whilst the 1968 strike analysed in chapter 2 was optimistically hailed as a turning point symbolising a new era of gender equality, the sewing-machinists were dissatisfied because the skilled nature of their work was not recognised. For the women at Ford, the underlying grading grievance and the sense of injustice that led to the 1968 dispute continued to shape their experiences of work and trade unionism for the next 17 years. This dispute marks an appropriate place to begin to draw some broader conclusions about women’s experiences of workplace activism between 1968 and 1985. The Ford sewing-machinists’ eventual success in winning their grading intimates a transition had occurred in the way women’s work was valued in the intervening 17 years between the strikes – at least within the Ford factory. Drawing upon contemporary representations of the dispute and interviews with women involved, this final chapter considers whether the women themselves believed the strike represented a change in attitudes towards female workers.
