Transgressive women: “female morality” in franco´s dictatorship

Abstract

Investigations on the Francoist repression are another example of the omnipresent invisibility of women as historical subject. The study of the Francoist on women repression requires a reading alternative, in the light of gender perspective, we have done from responsibilities policy records and the records of the prison for women in the province of Jaén (1939-1945), whose arguments allow us to categorize the repression suffered by women as “sexual repression” where the boundaries between moral and political were diluted, suffering a double conviction.
