What is being presented
The conference "Mujeres y represión franquista" at the Centre Cultural La Nau presents the book Mujeres y represión franquista. Una guía para su estudio en Valencia (Publicacions de la Universitat de València, 2017), coordinated by Carlos Fuertes Muñoz and Vicenta Verdugo Martí. The work documents how the Francoist regime erased Republican advances in gender equality and subjected women to an ultra-Catholic model of subordination, enforcing the Military Justice Code, labour blacklists, and gender-specific reprisals.
Who is participating
The event is organised by the Universitat de València and features interventions from the book’s coordinators, historians specialising in democratic memory. According to UV sources, the guide is the result of rigorous research, compiling testimonies, judicial rulings, and archives to reconstruct the impact of repression in Valencia.
Access and requirements
The conference is free to attend and open to the public, with no prior registration required. It takes place in the Aula Magna at La Nau, with limited seating. While no minimum age is specified, the content is aimed at an adult audience due to its historical and documentary nature.
