Drawing on the theory of collective action in the management of common-pool resources (CPRs) and on feminist ethnography with a group of rural extractivist women in the Cerrado—a vast tropical savanna biome in Brazil's Central-West region, rich in biodiversity—I identify an institutional element that precedes those described by Elinor Ostrom and that conditions the very possibility of collective action in this group. Named women enlace, it refers to a network of mutual care and the redistribution of domestic and caregiving responsibilities among women and their families. It is neither an affective bond nor a political identification as suggested by concepts such as “sisterhood,” but a set of practical and functional arrangements that allow women to move beyond unpaid, home-bound care work into productive, organizational, and political spheres. In the group studied, this interweaving of care and shared responsibilities makes collective action possible, enabling the women to act together in an organized way. Far from large urban centers and opportunities for formal education or waged employment, these women—organized in an extractivist association—have achieved economic, social, and personal emancipation while at the same time generated environmental benefits and defended their territories. Still under construction, the concept of women enlace contributes to theoretical discussions on women's collective action, particularly in forest resource management. Its recognition calls for further study to capture the nuances of this shared-care institution and to understand how it shapes women's participation in organizations and social movements.","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"33 2","pages":"554-571"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwao.70063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146155086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both have been identified as important causes of women's persistent underrepresentation in the military. They help explain macro-level patterns of gender inequality but are insufficient to understand the aspirations and service of military women who do engage in the armed forces, especially those in gender-atypical specialties and roles. To explore this issue, this article draws on interviews and observations conducted with aspiring servicewomen during the French Army's noncommissioned officer recruitment tests. We seek to understand the social properties that enable candidates who aspire to masculine-coded combat roles to sustain those ambitions amid persistent gender stereotypes and discrimination. By analyzing these young women's discourses on gender equality and efficacy against the backdrop of the experiences of women aspiring to gender-typical support roles, the analysis reveals how the individual negotiation of gender norms about appropriate roles entails the mobilization of specific dispositions, resources, and values. We conclude by discussing how the choices and discourses of aspiring servicewomen contend with, adapt to, and challenge the interactional processes that sustain gender inequality in the military.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"33 2","pages":"521-531"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146162662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theoretically, the article is informed by a gender analysis and a postcolonial lens, utilizing Bhabha's notion of ambivalence to demonstrate how our interviewees' qualifications and work experience were rendered unintelligible by the national bureaucracy and occupational closure mechanisms they encountered upon arrival. The architecture profession is of particular interest because its development in India was significantly influenced by the British Empire, with many shared systems and regulations, shaping the expectations of our respondents for a smooth transfer of their credentials. Our findings demonstrate how the respondents displayed agency and a “postcolonial consciousness” in negotiating the challenges put in their path, thus simultaneously perceiving some of the processes and systems they encountered as designed to exclude them while also seeking ways to navigate around these. A lack of UK work experience hindered them from taking their professional exams to register in the United Kingdom, and without UK registration, they in turn were unable to secure suitable employment to qualify for registration, which created a cycle of exclusion by design. Gender complicated their marginalization within a national bureaucracy that could not receive these women as highly skilled workers in their own right and where migration had, for many, resulted in their sudden positioning as dependents. Their ability to frame these experiences with what we term “postcolonial consciousness” meant that they were able to contextualize the hurdles they faced despite their highly skilled profiles.","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"33 2","pages":"508-520"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwao.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146162338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
