Although there have been many great actresses since the beginning of local cinema, historiography has barely addressed exploring the inclusion of women behind scenes. Using a historical methodology –mainly archival work in specialized film magazines–, this study proposes to collect data from female workers in the film industry from 1933 up to 1955 to shed light on their contribution.

El presente artículo se propone indagar en la participación femenina en el ámbito de la producción cinematográfica en Argentina previa al primer gobierno peronista. Si bien desde los comienzos del desarrollo de la industria del cine local las grandes actrices proliferaron, la historiografía ha trabajado escasamente en explorar la inclusión femenina detrás de cámara. A partir de una metodología histórica de trabajo de archivo –principalmente de prensa especializada del espectáculo–, esta investigación propone relevar los datos de trabajadoras en la industria cinematográfica desde 1933 hasta 1945 con el objetivo de visibilizar su aporte. El propósito es examinar si los puestos ocupados por mujeres fueron en su mayoría vinculados a rangos menores y si estos roles se reducían a trabajos históricamente considerados como feminizados o vinculados al “mundo femenino”. Asimismo, se brinda un análisis de algunos patrones que podemos identificar de las trabajadoras en una industria masculinizada en su frecuentemente denominada “época dorada”.
