ALUAR, the only factory of primary aluminum in Argentina (located in Patagonia), is not an exception. The research that analyzed the conformation of its workers' collective and the history of struggles of its workers have observed, almost exclusively, the experience of the men who performed their tasks in this plant. In this article we go another way, reconstructing the stories and memories of some of the women who worked there. In terms of sources, we developed a systematic register of newspapers and journalistic publications in the region, as well as a survey of governmental and business archives. However, in order to review this gender dimension of the labor collective, it was essential to build other archives that would make it possible to hear the voice of those who had been made invisible by the previous approaches. For this purpose, oral sources were developed through interviews with women who worked in ALUAR. Their testimonies became the essential input to understand the main characteristics of their working careers, and the differences experienced with respect to their male colleagues. Las empresas metalúrgicas tradicionalmente se consideran un ámbito masculinizado. ALUAR, la única productora de aluminio primario en Argentina (instalada en la Patagonia), no es una excepción. Las investigaciones que analizaron la conformación de su colectivo obrero y la historia de luchas de sus trabajadores han observado, casi únicamente, la experiencia de los varones que desempeñaban sus tareas en esta planta. En este artículo recorremos otro camino, reconstruyendo las historias y memorias de algunas mujeres que allí trabajaron. En términos de fuentes desarrollamos un registro sistemático de diarios y publicaciones periodísticas de la región, así como el relevamiento de archivos gubernamentales y empresariales. Sin embargo, para revisar esta dimensión sexo generizada del colectivo laboral, fue clave construir otros archivos que posibilitasen escuchar la voz de quienes habían sido invisibilizadas por los enfoques previos. Para ello se desarrollaron fuentes orales, a través de entrevistas a mujeres que trabajaron en ALUAR. Sus testimonios se constituyeron en el insumo esencial para comprender las principales características de sus recorridos laborales, y las diferencias vivenciadas con respecto a sus colegas varones.
