Women and Spanish fascism

the long version

"In this fascinating study the author looks at the ideological base of the SF, with particular reference to the work and lifestyle of its elite members. Using an extensive base of interviews with former members, associates and Falangists, this book explores the paradox of how the SF was a loyal supporter of Francoism whilst also offering a challenge to the class and social base of the regime in the years leading up to 1959. The contribution of the SF to the legislation, economic prosperity and social fabric of Spain during this period is also considered."--Jacket.
