Abstract
Developing an approach (both theoretical and methodological) based on the study of social trajectories, the author sets out to trace the professional insertion experiences of women workers who have gone through long periods of precarious work or unemployment. She shows how gender relations shape these female paths in a context of sharp drop in the quality of the jobs being offered to women in the French labor market. She also discusses the devastating effects of a female socialization that is still strongly underpinned by such values as sacrifice, compassion, and self-renunciation – a socialization that even now contributes to the vulnerability of the process of individuation of women.
