WOMEN'S IMAGE AS USED IN THE CONTEXT OF REPUBLICAN POLITICAL PROPAGANDA DURING THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR

During the civil war the republican political propaganda used the image of woman many times. This paper analyses the posters addressed to women, the posters which used women's images and the propaganda of the Antifascist Women Association. This propaganda used to depict women as men or in a very man like fashion, when talking on militia women or about the work of women in the agricultural sector. However the propaganda used to be much more extreme, either being softer or sometimes by being more dramatic about women when talking on bombings, help petitions and the role of women in the battlefield.
