¿Nuevas sujetas, nuevas identidades? La vivencia profesional en la configuración de la identidad de género

This text deals with the process of constitution of women’s subjectivities enabled by the professional experience of wage labor. I discuss how entrance to college, career choice and the experience of formal training, as well entering the labor market and the career trajectory of professional working women, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, have made possible the constitution of female individuals who shape themselves through and from the profession, as women with skills and possibilities of individualization and development, which separate them from the household and maternal reference points of female identity.
