A translation of women's testimonies about their experiences in the
prisons of Spain following the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939
collected by Tomasa Cuevas, herself a surviving victim of the
Francoist prison system.
Prison of Women presents oral testimonies of women incarcerated
following the Spanish Civil War. The primary voice in the
collection, Tomasa Cuevas, spent many years in prisons throughout
Spain as a political prisoner. After the death of Franco in 1975,
Cuevas began to collect oral testimonies from women she had known
in prison as she traveled throughout Spain recording their stories.
These, along with hers, eventually were published in three volumes
in Spain. Prison of Women is a collaboration between Tomasa Cuevas
and Mary E. Giles, translator and editor, who wrote the
introduction and afterword, and provided contextual information in
notes and a glossary. The testimonies offer a compelling record of
the years leading up to the Spanish Civil War, the aftermath of
that horrendous struggle, and a revealing testament to the strength
of the human spirit.
