Abstract
This study aims to give the reader of Dulce Chacón’s novel La voz dormida a foundational understanding of trauma memory theories developed by Shoshana Felman, Dori Laub, Cathy Caruth, and Dominick LaCapra. This knowledge provides the basis for a framework that will allow us to comprehend how Chacón develops Tomasa’s struggle to engage with her traumatic recollections as a literary figuration of the very real pain and suffering many republican women experienced during the Francoist regime. The characterization of Tomasa not only gives the novel a great narrative force, but also offers the reader the possibility to share the experience of thousands of victims of Francoism.
