Female workers in Russia have experienced a profound deterioration of their situation due to the social transformations of the market. These transformations worsen the gendered division of labor and the discriminations they experience. Most of all, they submit most of the workers to a great instability, which forces them to develop resourcefulness of every kind. Male workers are mainly in charge of resourcefulness in the professional sphere, whereas women manage the domestic sphere physically and, more importantly, nervoulsly. Discriminations and gendered division of labor are linked to social representations that favor women as mothers and embodiments of feminity. In actual fact, the female workers is first and foremost a casual worker who wastes her life trying to earn a living. This main characteristic makes her life quite similar to that of male workers. To fully understand the condition of female workers, the question of gender must therefore be linked to the deconstruction of the workers’entity.
