Summary

In the historical context of the first industrialization in Bizkaia and of the first waves of immigrants, the objective of this article is to analyze the economic function of women in the family production of goods and services, through a series of family strategies outside the formal job market. The provision of lodging was one of these strategies, frequently adopted by immigrants who arrived to the Estuaries in Bilbao and by almost 20% of the women, who housed guests in their houses as a form of obtainment of family resources.
