Abstract

One of the most controversial issues about Falange’s ‘Seccion Femenina’ in Franco’s times has been related to the limits of its agency and to how this was represented in public sphere. This work examines the role of Falangist women in Francoist calendar and festivities: their celebrations, their position and role in rituals, their voice and presence in discourses and symbols. As a result, we observe how the female fascist organization was part of and was represented within the social imaginary of Francoism while women’s inferior position was legitimized.
