Women are restricted to the home sphere; and the man has the role of family provider. This labor division causes the 'invisibility' of women's role in family farming, since their work in the domestic sphere does not generate income and in tasks related to the production their action are considered only as aid. In this situation, the purpose of this study is to treat gender relations and the power relations between men and women in rural areas, and how this discussion can contribute to the visibility of women's work in the countryside. To carry out this work, it was performed a theoretical-conceptual review on familiar agriculture, women’s labor, gender relations, power relations, a documentary research in the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and in the State Bureau for Management and Planning of Goias (SEGPLAN-GO), and also a field research, in which it were applied 13 interview scripts to female and male farmers in the community of Rancharia, in the municipality of Campo Alegre de Goias (GO).Keywords: Women; Family agriculture; Gender relations; Rancharia Community.
