The diversity of these films reflects evolutions in cinematic production and differences between countries and areas of the world. Most of these films show the peculiar painfulness of the work carried out by female workers in certain industrial sectors.

L’article étudie les représentations des ouvrières dans des films réalisés au cours des cinquante dernières années, dont la plupart sont l’œuvre de réalisatrices. La diversité de cet ensemble traduit les évolutions du monde du cinéma et les variations de point de vue entre régions du monde. Cependant ces films montrent, souvent, la pénibilité singulière des travaux attribués aux ouvrières, dans certaines branches industrielles. Une partie d’entre eux se concentrent sur les luttes menées contre la dureté et les contraintes du travail, et, en Europe de l’Ouest, contre les fermetures d’entreprises. Les inégalités ou contradictions de genre sont abordées aussi bien au travail que dans les autres aspects de la vie de ces femmes, parfois dans le cœur même des luttes. Enfin, la dignité des ouvrières est une préoccupation présente dans la majeure partie des films.
