Although there is an established historiography on women's roles
during the Spanish Civil War (1936-9), little has been written on
Nationalist women in the Republican-held zones. Women were the
anti-Republican resisters of the first hour in the capital but they
have been largely overlooked in the historical record. During the
bitter civil conflict a sector of dissident women helped to create
a subversive and clandestine national Catholic space in the heart
of Republican Madrid. By examining the vital and invisible role
played by women within Madrid's 'fifth column' this monograph
offers a new contribution to the gender historiography of the
Spanish Civil War and re-evaluates the significance of women in the
Nationalist war effort. It explores how and why a sector of
Falangist and Catholic women decided to mobilise against the
legally constituted Popular Front government in support of an
undemocratic military coup. While women's subversive activities
often involved the transgression of traditional gender norms, their
social and political agency arose within the conditions and
precepts of Catholicism and was conceptualised and imagined within
new national-Catholic discourses of 'holy Crusade.'
