Sumario:The cycle of mobilization and political radicalization of the Córdoba labor movement during the 60s and 70s has been the subject of multiple investigations, but there are no studies that have analyzed it with a perspective that combines class and gender. In this paper we reconstruct the experience of the women employed in the automotive components factory ILASA, which belonged to the SMATA union: we analyze the characteristics of the company and its worker composition, the union and political activism in the plant, the impact of Cordobazo and, especially, her participation in the factory occupations plan carried out in 1970. In this way, we show how their conditions of overexploitation, their entry into the organized working class and the political radicalization made the women workers of ILASA key protagonists of the change in union strategies that would lead to the experience of classism in SMATA Córdoba.
