AFFONSO, Luiza Caetano; FARIAS, Camila Peixoto  e  LUCZINSKI, Giovana Fagundes. Reproductive work in the pandemic: between survival and overload. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2023, vol.28, n.2, pp.172-183.  Epub 14-Mar-2025. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.69909/1678-4669.20230016.

This article aims to dicusss the reproductive work, historically relegated to women, and its consequences in the initial context of the new Coronavirus pandemic. To this end, an excerpt from the research “Now is who they are: the COVID-19 pandemic told by women” was analyzed, articulating quantitative and qualitative data, in a methodological triangulation between psychology approaches and feminist theories based on historical materialism. We analyzed 584 responses to the published questionnaire, specifically those referring to the greatest challenge experienced in the initial months of the pandemic, listing the heterosexual mothers who were working during this period. The reports show issues of survival and overload as the biggest challenges faced by the respondents, exposing the need to de-gender domestic work towards collective responsibility. The intersectional analyzes reveal specificities in the experiences of white and black women, based on the articulation between the dimensions of gender, race and class, inviting psychologies to explicit where they are placed, locating theories, researches and interventions.
