| Resumo: | The article analyzes the set of journal publications of the Revista de la Asociación Obstétrica del Uruguay to determine the strategies were used by unionized midwives to resist the subordinate role imposed on them by medicine. It also explores the extent of their commitment to the women's agenda of the mid-20th century. The methodology developed was based on content and press analysis. The findings show that midwives deployed various resistance strategies, including long-range union actions with social class and gender perspectives; as well participating in groups that fought for women’s rights of their time. The study contributes to the women’s press analysis and, in particular, to the recovery of feminist genealogies in Uruguay. Studying this journal provides insight into the process of Uruguayan midwifery in historical perspective and its role in the sociotechnical division of labor and, in the institutionalization of reproductive health.
