Abstract

Juana Biarnés is one of the pioneers of Spanish Photojournalism after the Civil War. Her way of dealing with gender roles and managing in a world controlled by men makes that her figure becomes an important study case to understand the history of press photography in Spain. Using the in-depth interview with the photo reporter herself and an archival methodology with a detailed tracking of photographic, hemerographic and film sources, this study presents, as a historicist review, the way in which photographic reports on beauty contest are justified and articulated in the photographic corpus of Biarnés in Pueblo newspaper [1963-1972].
