Abstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the collective identity constructed by the Sección Femenina of FET-JONS (SF) in the period before it became the organization responsible for educating Spanish women. Both gender and emotions are the categories used to examine two aspects of the discourse that these Falangist women constructed: the mythification of their origin as the female Falangist vanguard and the shaping of a female paradigm compatible with active involvement in the Civil War. This approach will show how this short period was crucial to the invention of an “identity canon” that formed the basis on which the model of womanhood that the organization imposed during the dictatorship was set up.
