Resumen de Masclisme(s) i vida quotidiana durant el franquisme: la reelaboració literària de Beatriu Civera i de Maria Beneyto
Maria Lacueva i Lorenz, Josep Ballester Roca
Beatriu Civera (Valencia, 1914–1995) and Maria Beneyto i Cuñat (Valencia,1925–2011) are two of the most powerful literary voices in the post-war Catalan narra-tive of the Valencian Community, as well as two of the authors who wrote most prolifi-cally about the types of violence used against women during Franco's rule. We will beanalysing works that are especially critical of certain groups of Catholic women, andthat refer to the degrading treatment received by predominantly female groups in boththe private and public spheres, such as prostitutes, single mothers and leftist women.The analysis also covers the daily violence, both physical or psychological, that ‘non-problematic’ women had to endure. This perspective is, therefore, somewhat unusual inliterary tradition up until now, exposing a series of power relations while also offering newnuances in terms of the historical perception of women’s lives during the dictatorship.
