Abstract

The inequality of treatment that affects women in all matters related to work- from domestic work in all households to the labor market itself- is no just forman inequality. The inequality of representations of the multiple facets of women, limiting their image until today to the stereotype of women, mother and wifw, has strong impacts on the emancipation of women in the world of work. Law and Literature clearly demonstrate that the social pressure that still affects women worldwide is a real obstacle to the realization of equal opportunities and treatment in the labor sphere. The power of images impregnated in the collective unconscious due to the limited representativeness of the female continues to have formal, economic and legal reflexes that marginalize and harm women workers on a daily baisis.
