Summary
The main objective of this paper is to explain the process of professionalisation and empowerment experienced by Galician shellfish gatherers in the 1990s. Specifically, it aims to analyse how shellfish gathering in Galicia went from being a marginal activity to becoming a symbolic reference point in Galician society and an example to follow for other women working in feminised occupations, especially in the fishing sector. We will examine the starting point and key elements of this process, led by women. In addition, it is considered relevant to put the fishing sector and the role of women in the industry into context from a feminist perspective.
