This thesis aimed to analyze the experience of empowerment of women inserted in the field of public cultural policies addressing at the transmission of artisanal knowledge. For this, we selected the case of an organization that received incentives from this public policy and, with this, we identified and described the cultural field that was formed from the transmission of knowledge in popular culture in the researched community. The empowerment process was based on the experience of the women who acted in this organization. This is a qualitative research, based on feminist epistemology, bringing the gender category as a central point, but not as the only form of interpretation, insofar as Pierre Bourdieu's works on the social field and types of capital also seem important for a better understanding of the process of construction of the reality of the women interviewed. Oral history was used to the extent that the memories of these women were one of the main means of collecting data for this thesis. Through their narratives, it was possible to identify their trajectories within the actions of the selected organization, and to verify a positive influence of cultural policy in their empowerment processes, although the sexual division of domestic work continued as the main limiting factor so that they could participate more actively in the productive sphere. It is therefore important to note that it is not possible to change the sexual division of the professional work of the artisans, without changing in the sexual division of domestic work, power and knowledge in society. Thus, we must think of public policies that are based on the struggle for equality and justice, since it is the duty of all of us, men and women, to work in defense of a more human world, with ethics in different types of work and without hierarchies of gender.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
