Communists and catholics in Cuadernos para el Diálogo. The contribution of the magazine to the debate on the situation of women in the mesofrancoism

Abstract

In 1965, the magazine Cuadernos para el Diálogo published a monographic issue entitled “La mujer” in which a large number of women and men with a different orientation collaborated, which recorded their perception and that of the ideological groups to which they belonged, about the situation of women in Spain. The analysis of this interesting issue, frequently quoted although it has never been the subject of a specific analysis, allows us to assess the contribution of the Journal, thereupon with Christian Democrat orientation, to the theoretical debate, the construction of a new concept on women and men, the renewal of the female model of the Dictatorship, that begun in Spain on the dates indicated. On the other hand, its study allows us to appreciate the entity of the mobilization of the Spaniards and their ability to act, through the incipient groups organized, at a time when the dictatorship began its final stretch.
