Women in the first stage of Spanish transition (1975-1977). A view through the satirical press

Abstract

In the first stage of the Spanish transition (1975-1977) there was an explotion of the satiric press, during which some critic magazines appeared against the Franco’s regime and supporting the democracy. This article analyzes the women’s image that those magazines showed in the sociopolitical and legal context of that moment, paying an special attention to the explicit contents and the feminism. Located in the progressivism, these magazines defended women’s rights, although they clearly contradicted themselves at the same time, as exposed in this text.
