This paper has as its main objective to give a voice to women in Fortaleza's Abunã, Rondônia, the Western Brazilian Amazon region, who lived in rubber plantations located in Ponta do Abunã (RO) and reserves established on lands along the Bolivia river. Specifically, we investigated the plantation life and relationships experienced by these women. Qualitative research with the method of thematic oral history (HOT) was used. Interviews were conducted with four women. The results were described in five descriptive categories which allowed us to understand how on going to the rubber plantation occured a change to the dream life expected and that it has proven to be arduous, labor relations unequal by gender.
