This article is part of research conducted for doctoral thesis, the result of a study of the Programa Trabalho e Empreendedorismo da Mulher in Pernambuco (PTEM) and their benefits for women who participated in its activities. The Program aimed to change the interrelation in local development processes and gender issues, taking account of vulnerable women by income (whether or not participants of social inclusion programs), presenting opportunities for income generation alternatives, market integration and in associations and cooperatives. Interviews were conducted with seventeen beneficiaries of the Program and the survey results showed that the PTEM-PE had its merits and has brought benefits to the participants, even if they have not been the posts as goals in official documents, as mentioned more subjective, behavioural aspects and existential. The meaning for they assigned the benefits was more noticeable with regard to changes produced in looks and opinions about themselves and not necessarily to their role and effective participation in local economic development, including by the emphasis given by these women persistent difficulties to create or manage a business (either individually or in a group) and the obstacles to ensuring the financial independence in relation to husbands.
