%X in this paper i seek to examine ways of women mobilization in a working class housing cooperative. the cooperative under study had financial and technical support from an ngo, which helped to organize it through family workforce for self-construction. the cooperative proposed as a new form of political and economic organization of society invests in the power of collective articulation accumulated in the history of the working classes. when updating important socio-cultural principles, like the spirit of solidarity and articulation of the sociability network, the women members began to participate in traditionally masculine tasks and to exercise a subtle and creative leadership, giving a specific sense of collectiveness to the group of families.
