This article analyses the participation of young peasant women in rural work, focusing on the issue of gender and generation. For this analysis, reference is made to a survey carried out in an agrarian reform settlement in the State of Paraná, with young people between 14 and 20 years old. Through the methodology of life history and the focus group, we sought to understand the life trajectory of peasant youth, especially the young women, and the gender relations they establish in the context of family work. It argues that gender and generation hierarchies, which structures power relations in patriarchal regimes, are questioned and / or subverted by the rural youth when they have access to schooling and become aware of gender inequalities. This is made possible through their participation in social movements (for land, youth, women) that allow the construction of new practices and discourses, resignifying the social place of the young peasant.
