Like other democratic societies, Portugal has known an important reduction of gender inequalities, mainly by the action of women’s social movements and some political forces. However, recent (inter)national studies confirm the social borders and inequalities persistence in many contexts (work, values and symbolic regulations, institutional frames, and daily interactions). In this paper, the authors will  focus their analysis on the conjugal dissolution processes and unequal distribution of power between men and women. Regarding these matters, there is an extended debate, where they propose an articulation between the concepts of gender and class. The authors assume as fruitful an articulation of the Marxist model with the feminist one and, indirectly, a critical and synthetic crossing between (neo)Marxism and Weberianism, being this one also articulated with symbolic interactionism. Based on official statistics, in the analysis of some interviews about the motivations for/in divorce, and in the empirical evidence from the divorce judicial processes, the authors present some preliminary results of a collective project  held  on  some  regions  of  Portugal  named:  “Gender  inequalities  in work  and  private  life:  from  the  norms  to  social practices”.  The  central  hypothesis  of  this  project  is  that  the  forms  of  gender  inequality  and  domination  are  tributaries  of macro‐economic  and  institutional  mechanisms  but  they  are  also  playing  at  the  micro  level  (family,  business,  public  and private institutions), involving both variables, namely, in a crossing of Weberian‐Marxist perspectives, the presence/absence of certain  level of empowerment by social actors. That means that women’s position depends and/or differs  in  function of factors such as available resources and rewards, the place in the organizational and (re)productive sphere of the family, and the place in the interactions and in roles negotiation.
