Educating women for marriage: models and practices in postwar literaturature

Abstract

The image and the female model that Franco imposed for over forty years is the subject in recent yerars of interdisciplinary research where have converged History, Sociology, Anthropology among other social sciences, like art, literary criticism or education. In this paper we propose to bring new arguments to this line of work from a new aspect, which has to do with the role of women as a practical part of marriage. Marriage, therefore no further idea of ​​the family, much more elaborate as the idea of ​​patriarchy, is a form of permanent address of the destination, education and socialization of women. We try to answer, but we are aware that we are only sketching a way, to what extent marrieage focuses and plays the idea of ​​the "new" woman Franco, based on narrative and theoretical contributions of his image in the novels written by and for "Spanish woman".
