This article aims to reflect on the theoretical possibilities for studies on rural women at work and managing family establishments based on the contributions of gender studies and feminism. Thus, we review the theoretical path of gender and work in the rural environment to critically reflect on the concept of management, address the specificities of management in rural establishments, and, finally, indicate theoretical paths for understanding the management of rural women. The analysis identifies two facets of management: instrumental, from management, and emancipatory, intrinsic aspect of organizing. In the results, we argue that the organizing agencies carried out by women offer alternatives to undo the managerialism embedded in organizational processes, which makes women's performance invisible, thus enabling the emergence of new access routes to reposition the role of women in rural establishments. In conclusion, this new approach considers that the emancipatory and collective aspects present in women's organizing may indicate a new way to address the concept and practices of management.

Resumo: Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre as possibilidades teóricas para os estudos sobre as mulheres rurais no trabalho e na gestão de estabelecimentos familiares tomando como base as contribuições dos estudos de gênero e dos feminismos. Para isso faz-se uma revisão sobre o percurso teórico de gênero e trabalho no meio rural, para então refletir criticamente sobre o conceito de gestão, abordar as particularidades de gestão em estabelecimentos rurais e, por fim, apontar caminhos teóricos para compreensão da gestão de mulheres rurais. Ao longo da análise, identificam-se duas facetas da gestão, a instrumental, proveniente do gerencialismo (management) e a emancipatória, aspecto intrínseco ao organizar (organizing). Nos resultados defendemos que as agências do organizar realizadas pelas mulheres oferecem alternativas para desfazer o gerencialismo embutido nos processos organizacionais, que invisibiliza a atuação das mulheres, possibilitando, assim, a emergência de novas vias de acesso para reposicionar o papel das mulheres em estabelecimentos rurais. Concluimos que essa nova abordagem da gestão considera que os aspectos emancipatórios e coletivos presentes no organizar das mulheres poderão indicar um novo caminho para tratar do conceito e das práticas de gestão.
