Anti-gag literature. Women writers and writings silenced during francoism. A study from a gender perspective

Abstract

This article explores the actions of the dictatorial power in the field of literary censorship during the Franco regime in the forties and fifties through different “censorship means”. His study delves into the issue of vigilant control and its censoring legislation while exploring the spaces of resistance that the collective of writers found so that their works could be published. In this way, the strategies that the writers used to avoid the dreaded red pen of their vigilantes are explored. This article, moreover, presents how writers have suffered from the strong gendered politics that limited their actions to the private sphere.
