Abstract
This article analyses from a gender perspective six testimonial stories produced by women in Spanish Republican exile: Éxodo. Diario de una refugiada española (1940), by Silvia Mistral; Memoria de la melancolía (1970), by María Teresa León; Los diablos sueltos (1975), by Mada Carreño; Memorias habladas, memorias armadas (1990), by Concha Méndez; and De Barcelona a la Bretaña francesa y La hora del odio (2014), by Luisa Carnés. T he study examines how each of these exiles thinks about and translates the various facets of their corporeality into confessional literature. In this sense, the reflection on beauty or sexuality, the awareness of the ageing body or the recognition and/or denial of identity through the symbol of the mirror will be some of the recurring motifs that the authors use to address the corporeal in their works.
