Description

The file of Maria Salvo Iborra, active between 1939 and 1976, is a document that reflects the specific repression exerted on women during the Franco dictatorship. Salvo, an anti-Franco activist and feminist, was imprisoned and monitored for decades. This file shows how the regime controlled the lives of dissident women, denying them fundamental rights and subjecting them to double oppression: political and gender. The document is a testimony of resistance and the fight for freedom, and it values ​​the memory of the women who defied the imposed silence. It is also a key piece for understanding the long duration of repression and its gender dimension, in line with European studies on memory and human rights.
