]]> Women’s Work in Early Modern Andalusia (TRAMA) is a research and knowledge transfer project about the economic participation of women in Andalusia between 1450 and 1808. The objective is twofold: on the one hand, to generate new knowledge about women’s work during this period, mainly through the exploitation of written and visual sources; and on the other, to contribute to the dissemination to society of the knowledge generated, but also that which already exists, through the activation of various initiatives such as conferences, scientific meetings, publications, in addition to didactic projects and the use of digital media. The team is made up of researchers from different Spanish and foreign universities who study Gender and Work and have a clear interdisciplinary vocation (Geography, History, History of Art, Didactics of Social Sciences). The website contains all the information on the activities promoted by the project. The image that accompanies this resource refers to the poster of the seminar held in May 2023, which had as a common thread the transition from academic theory on women’s work to educational practice and classroom work.

]]> The image used as a resource is the cover of a Final Degree Project carried out by Miren Aintzane Eguiluz Romero and directed by Inés Pellón González at the University of the Basque Country. The aim of the project is to vindicate women in the marine field, where they have traditionally been relegated to a secondary role in history books. Using Bizkaia in the 18th century as a study space, it analyses a world as closed to men as that of the sea, as well as the rejection of women to carry out any function related to it, as they were considered incompetent, inadequate and clearly inferior. However, their presence in this type of spaces and tasks is demonstrated despite the fact that they did not enjoy any professional consideration. Their work in the ports, as fish sellers, fisherwomen, boatwomen, stevedores, etc., meant that they were always present in the life of the communities. Specifically, the Biscayan boatwomen were women who were usually joined by other women dedicated to the transport of goods and who also worked with the men, lowering and raising the boats that entered the estuary or trading with the goods in the various towns along its shores. Women, as the author points out, who must have had similar knowledge to the sailors of their time, although their image has been masked in a world of clichés.
