The events related to the conflict, and the existence of their organization, have gone almost unnoticed in social, historical and economic studies. The purpose of this article is to rescue the events that led to the strike and analyze the impact that the conflict had in four main dimensions: the role of the State as a mediator between capital and labor; the situation of women workers in the sector; the labor relations system; and the redefinition of the political rules of the game. Evidence of substantive transformations was found in these dimensions, which allow us to consider the conflict as a significant event in Uruguay history. The investigation was based on secondary sources: parliamentary debates, municipal declarations and press releases from the main newspapers in the country. So far, no files from the company or the women's telephone union have been found. The research began in 2018 within the framework of a project called "Message by absence", which aims to contribute to the recovery of events involving women removed from the collective memory. Las operadoras telefonistas en Uruguay fundaron el primer sindicato de mujeres en 1918 y protagonizaron una huelga en 1922. Los acontecimientos relativos al conflicto, y a su existencia como organización, han pasado casi inadvertidos en los estudios sociales, históricos y económicos. El propósito del artículo consiste en rescatar los sucesos que llevaron a la huelga y analizar el impacto que el conflicto tuvo, en cuatro dimensiones principales: el rol del Estado como mediador entre el capital y el trabajo; la situación de las mujeres trabajadoras en el sector; el sistema de relaciones laborales; la redefinición de las reglas de juego políticas. En esas dimensiones se encontraron evidencias de transformaciones sustantivas, que permiten considerar el conflicto como acontecimiento significativo en la historia del país. La investigación se basó en fuentes secundarias: debates parlamentarios, declaraciones municipales y notas de prensa de los principales periódicos del país. Hasta el momento, no se han encontrado archivos de la empresa ni del sindicato de telefonistas mujeres. La investigación se inició en 2018 en el marco de un proyecto denominado “Mensaje por ausencia”, que tiene por finalidad contribuir a la recuperación de acontecimientos protagonizados por mujeres sustraídos de la memoria colectiva.  Facultad de Humanidades y Artes.
