This article reconstructs the first general strike called by the Provincial Workers' Federation in solidarity with the primary school teachers organized as Maestros Unidos (United Teachers), during August 1919 in the province of Mendoza. With the aim of recovering the experiences of struggle embodied by the teachers and entwined into dense networks of worker solidarity, the complex relationships that developed between the teachers, the working-class families and the labor movement are analyzed. The tensions arising from of the feminized/sexed treatment of the conflict are also taken into account. This is observed through the speeches contained in the trade union and party press of the labor movement, as well as in the commercial and officialist newspapers. In addition, an interpretive approach is made on the repressive mechanisms deployed by the State and factions of the bourgeoisie, focused on the predominantly female participants in the conflict. These mechanisms emerged during the most confrontational phase of the general strike and intensified afterward. |

Este artículo reconstruye la primera huelga general pronunciada por la Federación Obrera Provincial en solidaridad con las maestras del nivel primario organizadas en Maestros Unidos, durante el mes de agosto de 1919 en la provincia de Mendoza. Bajo el objetivo de recuperar las experiencias de lucha encarnada por las maestras y entramadas en densas redes solidarias obreras, se analizan las complejas relaciones que se fueron tejiendo entre las maestras, las familias proletarias y el movimiento obrero, dando cuenta de las tensiones surgidas a partir del tratamiento feminizado/sexuado del conflicto, observable a través de los discursos contenidos en las prensas sindicales y partidarias del movimiento obrero, como asimismo, en los periódicos comerciales y oficialistas. Además se realiza una aproximación interpretativa sobre los dispositivos represivos desplegados por el Estado y fracciones de la burguesía, focalizados en la composición mayoritariamente femenina involucrada en el conflicto, que eclosionaron durante el momento más confrontativo de huelga general y el modo en que se profundizaron después. Este artigo reconstitui a primeira greve geral convocada pela Federação Provincial dos Trabalhadores em solidariedade com os professores do ensino primário organizados como Maestros Unidos (Professores Unidos), em agosto de 1919, na província de Mendoza. Com o objectivo de recuperar as experiências de luta vividas pelos professores e entrelaçadas em densas redes de solidariedade operária, analisa as complexas relações que se desenvolveram entre os professores, as famílias da classe operária e o movimento operário. Examina as tensões decorrentes do tratamento feminizado/generificado do conflito, observáveis nos discursos presentes na imprensa sindical e operária, bem como nos jornais comerciais e pró-governo. Além disso, oferece uma análise interpretativa dos mecanismos repressivos empregues pelo Estado e por facções da burguesia, centrando-se nas participantes predominantemente femininas do conflito. Estes mecanismos entraram em acção durante a fase mais confrontativa da greve geral e intensificaram-se posteriormente.
