| Sumario: | 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. |
