The Civil War (1936-1939) and the origins of Francoism provide an opportunity to analyse the transition from a liberal democratic framework to an authoritarian one. In a context of the dismantling of civil society, the Falange Women's Section played an exceptional role as a collaborating agent in the application and dissemination of Franco's welfare provisions. It imposed a model of political discipline and specialised training for visiting nurses and educators that generated dynamics of female professional promotion and left its mark on welfare practices. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-FEDER/PGC2018-097232-B-C21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H24-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-sa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.es 0.101 2024 History 2024 Q4 0.2 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 3012 450 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
