Abstract
In this article I will analyze the Female Labour Force Participation in Spanish and Portuguese Coastal towns during the last decades of nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth century. I will explore and link different historical primary sources: first, demographic sources (Nominal Population Censuses), second, historical statistics (fishing statistics, reviews of industrial work and labour relations), third, canning companies data (Massó Hermanos S.A., Antonio Alonso, Pinhais), forth, interviews to canning women from Spain and Portugal. All of this sources, allows me to reconstruct the female labour activity rate in coastal towns where fishing and fish-canning industry were the main economic activities. Furthermore, I consider common elements that define industrial labour market formation in fishing communities in Spain and Portugal: gender division of labour, temporary contracts in fish-canning, and the great female labour force participation in fish-processing, no matter the civil state or age of canning women.
