Abstract

Gender-exile is the concept that articulates the analysis proposed in this article to examine the literary work of women exiles from the Spanish Civil War.  The article aims to analyze production of these authors, and their political and intellectual significance in the Edad de Plata, during the Second Republic, and in exile. In addition to the value of recovering the testimonies in which women speak as historical subjects, delving into their experiences has a broader meaning that is reflected in the article: it aims to question the homosocial nature of the cultural and political canon in Spain. And to contribute to the studies that today investigate the limits and margins of such canon.
