description Most of those who have documented the Amerindian cultures, following their own ideas and ideologies have confined women to the domestic and private sphere, and men to the political and public one. They have also attributed to these spheres of social life different values, trying to find relations of domination homologous to those that existed in the «western» culture. The hunter-gatherers societies of the Gran Chaco were not an exception to this construction of women’s subordination. Some ethnographic data among the Toba (Qom) people of the Argentinean Chaco, allow to revisit the sexual division of work proposed by some ethnographers of the Toba people. The author intends to provide a different interpretation to that provided by the old sources by focusing on the voices of Toba women themselves.
