Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | 0210-1963 | Journal: | Arbor | Abstract: | During their exile in Mexico, a sizable number ofthe politically active female minority in the Republican period participated in the reconstruction of women’s organizations that had functioned in Spain during the civil war, having joined together in a group known as the “Antifascist Women’s Association”. Thus, in the 1940s, the Union of Spanish Women was formed. Their mission involved providing solidarity and material support to the women and men incarcerated in the Franco dictatorship and pursued a “feminine but not feminist” policy maintaining fluid relations between their private domestic duties and the public sphere, which would endure from the 40s through to 1960s. Durante el exilio en México, una parte significativa de la minoría femenina activa en política en el período republicano se dedicó a la reconstrucción de una de las organizaciones de mujeres que habían funcionado en España durante la guerra, la “Agrupación de Mujeres Antifascistas”. Así se creó en los años cuarenta la Unión de Mujeres Españolas, dedicada en especial a la solidaridad material con las mujeres y los hombres presos dentro de las cárceles franquistas. Su actividad política desarrollada a partir de un discurso “femenino pero no feminista” plantea la fluida relación existente entre el espacio privado del hogar y lo público, en relación con las actividades antifranquistas emprendidas por estas mujeres desde los años cuarenta hasta los sesenta. |
