The present work, entitled Women in the Brazilian labor market: reality of informal work, is the result of qualitative-quantitative research in the light of critical thinking, and counts as its theoretical contribution some authors such as: Federici, Mies, Vèrges, Gonzalez, Marx , between others. It is based on Marxist feminist theory that leads to the theoretical hypothesis that overcoming the order of capital implies, among other aspects, the recognition of women's productive work and overcoming the asymmetric division of labor between the sexes in the public and private spheres. Thus, its main objective is to promote a critical understanding of women's informal work in the context of contemporary structural crisis and its functionality for maintaining the capitalist mode of production. The importance of the study revolves around the understanding that informal work is not a new phenomenon in the world, nor in Brazil, and that the incidence of informality has been one of the structural and historical characteristics of the Brazilian labor market, especially in the lives of women. workers who are part of the sexual and racial division of labor. Since, in the patriarchal capitalist structure, gender discrimination is based on stereotypes resulting from a racist, heterosexist and sexist society, which naturalizes the oppressions that mostly affect women, having as its framework the racial division of labor, which is revealed by discrimination and differentiated exploitation that the black population suffers in the world of work.
