In Spain Women’s poetry of the 1920s was initially marginalized and then forgotten by the literary canon. This historical context serves as a background to understand the significance of the women poets who succeeded in opening poetic spaces to represent themselves. The study focuses on clothing, first as a language through which new modern women announce their transformation to society and second as how two poets, Josefina de la Torre (1907-2002) and Concha Méndez (1898-1986), incorporate the semiotics of clothing into their poetry and create original images that include references to dress. Both textual strategies permit the poets to represent women’s experiences and subjectivity
