20th CENTURY NON-FICTION

Daughters of Spain

Daughters of Spain gives a gripping account of the hard won changes within society for the women of Spain, through the eyes and experiences of the women themselves - mothers, daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters.  Generations of women narrate their account of life in Spain from the beginning of the Civil War and Franco’s totalitarian dictatorship to the current modern democracy it is today.  Using recorded first-hand interviews and authentic photographs, the author captures a vivid and unique picture of what life was really like for women over the past seventy years, of the hardships they endured and their aspirations for a more egalitarian future.
