Hijas de dos tiempos. Retratos de mujeres en las obras memorísticas de Rosa Regàs y Clara Janés

Abstract

Since the analysis of the female characters that appear in Regàs’ and Janés’ memoirs, this paper goes depth into the condition of women in the XX century in Spain. Through the portraits that each memoirist creates in her text, it is possible to see how two generations of women lived. On the one hand, the stories of those women who, after the unsuccessful republican experience, adapted themselves to the patriarchal society of the Franquoist regime. On the other, all those women who rise up against the male subjection, claiming their role of Modern Woman just before the establishment of democracy.
