This article presents the historical context of the emergence of maid category, its sociodemographic profile and the laws that regulate this occupation in Brazil. This is basically a qualitative research that began in Le Guillant studies on “maid condition “. The data collection was based on semi-structured interviews with eight maids living in Belo Horizonte. Despite the fights of the category and the legal advances that regulate the profession, with the Law 150/2015, it was found that maid job is still a source of resentments and humiliations. The participants statements show the negative impacts on their subjectivity, since the profession is still subject of stigmatization and discrimination, by the employers and by the society

Keywords : Job; subjectivity; maid.
